π IOSH Managing Safely β Session 7: Risk Assessment
Today's session focused on Risk Assessment, one of the most essential tools for preventing workplace incidents and ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.
Participants learned how to systematically identify hazards, evaluate the likelihood and severity of risks, determine who may be affected, and implement appropriate control measures. The session emphasized that effective risk assessment is not merely a legal requirement but a proactive process that helps organizations prevent accidents, reduce losses, and protect their most valuable asset, their people.
Through practical exercises and workplace scenarios, learners gained hands-on experience in conducting risk assessments and making informed decisions to control risks before they lead to incidents.
