Risk assessment has become the backbone of health and safety
management in the UK and elsewhere. Employers have a legal duty to
prove that risk assessments have been carried out and to ensure
that appropriate precautions have been implemented.
Mike Bateman demystifies the risk assessment process and how it
relates to UK legislation. He covers both the general techniques
and the assessment of specific risks, such as hazardous substances
(COSHH), noise, manual handling, Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
workstations, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), fire, asbestos
and work at height. The book is practical in its approach to risk
assessment rather than being overly legalistic or academic and
tells the reader how to go about risk assessment, not just what the
legislation requires. It contains numerous checklists, forms and
worked examples for a variety of hazards and industries.
This edition has been fully updated to take into account the
impact of the following requirements on risk assessments:
Work at Height Regulations 2005 - full new chapter
Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) 2006
