A Risk assessment is essential under section 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005. This act requires that employers carry out an identification of their workplace hazards and an assessment of the risks posed by those hazards. Employers are responsible to examine and write down these workplace risks and what to do about them. Ultimately, assessing risk means that anything in the workplace that could cause harm to your employees, other employees and other people (including customers, visitors and members of the public) must be carefully examined. This allows you to estimate the magnitude of risk and decide whether the risk is acceptable or whether more precautions need to be taken to prevent harm. Employers are required to implement any improvements considered necessary by the risk assessment. The aim is to ensure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill.
