Health and Safety Risk Assessments

At SK FoodTech Services, we understand that maintaining a safe workplace is paramount to the health and well-being of your employees and the success of your business. Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, our tailored risk assessments help identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential hazards in your operations, enabling you to protect both your employees and your business from unnecessary risks.

What is a risk assessment?

The definition of a risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying hazards and evaluating any associated risks within a workplace, then implementing reasonable control measures to remove or reduce them.

When completing a risk assessment, it is important to clearly define some keywords:

• An accident is ‘an unplanned event that results in loss’
• A hazard is ‘something that has the potential to cause harm’
• A risk is ‘the likelihood and the severity of a negative occurrence (injury, ill-health, damage, loss) resulting from a hazard.’
