TASK 4
4.1 Risk Assessments By Different Requirements
Risk assessments can be understood as the assessments of workplace risk and Health and
Safety of persons and business as well. Assessing and ensuring that risk is minimized and the
factors which harm the working and life of people at workplace should be taken due care of and
should be minimized upto an Extent(Stelloo and et.al, 2016). There are different functions given
by regulatory bodies and some laws have been made plus at organizational level also various
measures have been adopted to make sure that the risk prevailing should be assessed and
removed as soon as possible. Thus various elements from which risk can be assessed are:
By Legislation Requirements: As per law a risk assessment should be suitable and sufficient
which should show that, a proper check is being made at the workplace, questions should be
asked who is affected, dealing with obvious risks is the key, precautions should be taken and
involving the workers and their representatives in the process will make a transparency in the
organization.
By Regulation Requirements: There were different regulations have been established in order
to build different set of risk assessment criteria's from late 90's to till date. Among which some
are: Manual handling operations, Health & Safety Regulations, Control of Asbestos at the work,
Personal protective equipment at the workforce, Management of Health and safety at work,
etc(Liu and et.al, 2015).
By organizational Requirements: An organization also delivers a different set of practices
which is followed at the workplace in order to assess the risk. Assessing the risk make them
more cautious towards their objective achievement and the authorities try to minimize the risk
and harm(Bachler, von Goetz and Hungerbuhler, 2015). Practices that are followed at the
organizations is a five step process which includes Identify the hazards, decide who is harmed
and in Which manner, Evaluation of risk, Record your findings and Review assessment.
4.2 Health & Safety Regulations and Legislation
Risk assessment requirements can addressed in just five steps but certain principles rules
and regulations govern the rights of the workers working at the workplace which says that
workers should not be harmed due to the risk at the workplace and if they are then equal set of
compensation has to be paid by the organization(Hundt and et.al, 2013). Thus there are various

regulations which covers the risk assessing techniques or tools or steps which can cure the risk
factor at the workplace and they are: Management of health and safety at work, manual handling
regulations, Personal protective equipment work, health and safety regulations 1992, Noise at
work regulations 1989, Control of substances hazardous to health regulations 1999, and control
of lead at work regulations 1998. They does not cover regulations dealing with highly
specialized risks such as major hazards, ionising radiation and genetic manipulation, etc.
These all regulations and legislations are different from each other they all require a
manger to perform certain things and take certain decisions so that they can prevent the risk
factor from the workplace and know people is harmed. but the first regulation which is
provisions of management regulations are inclusive of the matter related to employers and self-
employed people to assess the risks create by their undertaking so as to identify the measures
they are in need of(Hundt and et.al, 2013). The provisions of this regulations are imposed over
all other workplace. This makes us understand that the provisions of the management regulations
are very wide ranging and all are followed effectively.
4.3 Systematic Review of Organizational Health & Safety
It is not essential only to implement the practices at the workplace in order to remove the
risk from the organizations, it is also the duty of the manager or the person who is in the
authority of it should have a routine checkup policy of how the things are going on, is there any
significant changes after the risk reduction activities, if yes what are they. There are few
workplaces which remains the same(Kalsi and et.al, 2015). In future if any organization brings in
the new equipments and substances and procedures which changes the way the organization
works then it is a risk situation because workers don't have an idea of how to deal with new
technologies in turn their work will get affected and thus overall work of the organization gets
affected. So it makes sense to review your work and know various things which can again build
the risk and the traits are looking at the improvements you still need to make, is workers are
capable of spotting the problem and have the organization have learnt from the accidents and
near mishaps(Hundt and et.al, 2013). Making sure that companies risk assessment is up to date
with every day is the key in managing the firm competitively grow as well as making the
organization risk free.

4.4 Practical Application of Health & Safety
There are five general principles which can be practically implemented in order to assess
the risk at any organization and they are:
1. Identify the Hazards: In knowing the hazard an organization needs to understand the
main difference between a hazard and the risk. A hazard is something which has the trait
to cause the harm to others. Hazards can be identified by walking round the workplace
and asking the employees for it.
2. Decide Who might be harmed and how: As the consequences of the hazard an
organizations needs to make decisions on who might will be harmed and how will they
be as per the particular hazard which has been found(Johnson and et.al, 2015).
3. Evaluation of the Risks: The third step is making sure that the people who is likely to get
harm should not face the consequences of hazards and it should make sure that proper
evaluation of risks should be done.
4. Record your Findings: Findings should be written down on a piece of paper so that in
future if anything likely happens a reference a can be taken from that piece of paper.
5. Review your assessment: Reviewing the assessment is important ant he last step because
here new hazards can be figured out. So keeping a proper check is the key(Hundt and
et.al, 2013).

goals is to become a leading firm under its industry in the London city and create brand image in
