TUC Guide To Risk Assessment Launched

The TUC has produced a guide to risk assessment. It says the new resource provides safety reps with the tools to ensure their employer has done a suitable risk assessment and taken appropriate measures to implement the measures required.

TUC adds that the guide 'should also help safety reps to challenge the employer if they do not do a suitable assessment or do not act to remove the hazards identified in the risk assessment.'

The resource is part of a package of materials prepared by TUC for the risk assessment-themed European Health and Safety Week, which kicks off on 20 October. Thirteen courses on risk assessment will run at various locations in England between October and December this year.

The Wednesday of safety week, 22 October, is National Inspection Day, when safety reps will be encouraged to undertake inspections - and a TUC guide is available to help with this.
