Effective risk management systems allow an organisation, large
or small, to meet its legal requirements in protecting workers
by not only identifying risk but putting in place measures to
ensure adequate risk controls. Too often risk assessment becomes a
tick-box exercise but it's vitally important that the organisation
is mindful of the risks that are identified and takes ongoing
action to monitor and manage them. This strong focus on worker
health and safety, in turn, benefits organisational
performance.
Supported by Health and Safety Matters magazine, the Health and
Safety Executive ran this free webinar to
organisations looking to understand and control different types of
risks in their workplaces. This webinar
featured a panel of experts from HSE including
HM Health and Safety Inspectors, and a representative
from NEBOSH who discussed current
guidance and principles in tackling risk. We
took questions during the webinar and
highlighted resources, products and services that can help you
build a successful risk management programme that protects
employees from harm.
