Step 5: Review your assessment and revise it if necessary
You must review your risk assessment regularly, especially when there are changes or new developments, such as new equipment or substances being introduced into the business. Make sure it's kept up-to-date.
To decide whether your assessment needs changing, you should ask the following questions:
- Have there been any changes in the workplace?
- Are there improvements you still need to make?
- Have your employees spotted a problem?
- Have you learnt anything from accidents or near misses?
