Risk Assessment for Managers (ROSPA Endorsed)

About this course

Employers must carry out risk assessments in respect of all significant workplace hazards, and failure to comply with this legal requirement can result in prosecution and heavy penalties.

Such prosecutions rarely arise from any wilful intention to break the law, but rather through an ignorance of the legal requirements, or a lack of understanding of how to carry out the assessments, how detailed they should be, and how they should be recorded.

Having completed this course the learner will feel competent, and able, to conduct risk assessments effectively, and to appropriate standards. The duration of this course is 20 minutes and can be completed over multiple sessions.
