WHAT IS A RISK ASSESSMENT?
Some Definitions:
A systematic process of evaluating the

potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking.
Specific and detailed work instruction for the effective protection of all members of the work team and others affected by their actions.
A risk assessment is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork, but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your workplace.

UK LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999:
3,- (1)

Every employer shall make a suitable and sufficient assessment of –
(a) the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work; and
(b) the risks to the health and safety of persons not in his employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking.

WHO IS CHECKING AND ACCEPTING THE RISK ASSESSMENT?
Client representatives.
Are they

familiar enough with specialist activities to make informed judgments?
Educate clients to help their understanding – training, demonstration, explanation ...
A client who understands what he is looking at is liable to be more relaxed and understanding towards “unusual” activity in their facility.

WHO IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE?
The Company, was fined £100,000 after pleading guilty

to breaching Regulation 4 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Following the case, the HSE Inspector, said:
“This was a tragic incident and the death could have been prevented had The Company planned the job correctly and put suitable safety measures in place.
“Assessing the risks of that job properly would have identified that the potentially sharp edge presented a very clear danger to anyone suspended and working on ropes rigged against it.
“However, the company failed to do this so failed to take safety precautions and instead,
The Individual fell to his death.”

are doing on an ongoing basis:
