Digg it UP - Risk Assessment in the Workplace - Part 2
Electrical Safety Rogue Traders.There are many companies out there who do not carry out the testing correctly. They do not check the plugs or fuse ratings for appliances.

Consider how likely it is that each hazard could cause harm. This will determine whether or not you need to do more to reduce the risk.
Even after all precautions have been taken, some risk usually remains. What you have to decide for each significant hazard is whether this remaining risk is high, medium or low.
Firstly, ask yourself whether you have done all the things that the law says you have got to do.
As an example, there are legal requirements on prevention of access to dangerous parts of machinery. Then ask yourself whether generally accepted industry standards are in place. But do not stop there, think for yourself, because the law also says that you must do what is reasonably practicable to keep your workplace safe.

If you find that something needs to be done, draw up an action list, and give priority to any remaining risks which are high, and those which could affect most people.
In taking action ask yourself:
1. Can you get rid of the hazard altogether?
2. If not, how can you control the risks, so that harm is unlikely?
In controlling risks apply the principles below, if possible in the following order:
1. Try a less risky option.
2. Prevent access to the hazard (eg by installing guards).
3. Organise work to reduce exposure to the hazard.
4. Issue personal protective equipment.
5. Provide welfare facilities (eg washing facilities for removal of contamination) and first aid.
Improving health and safety need not cost a lot. For instance, placing a mirror on a dangerous blind corner to help prevent vehicle accidents
