Risk Assessment for Risk Assessors Course

Every workplace has risks — from wet floors to rogue extension leads or moving heavy machinery or stock — but knowing how to properly assess and manage those risks is what keeps people safe. This one-day Risk Assessment for Risk Assessors Course covers the essential knowledge and practical skills you need to carry out basic risk assessments in your organisation.

Learners will explore real-world case studies, identify hazards, consider who might be affected, and learn how to record and review findings effectively. It’s hands-on, interactive, and designed to help you walk away ready to make a positive impact on safety — without drowning in paperwork.
