Every safe workplace begins with a thorough risk assessment.
Whether you're a team leader, site supervisor, or business owner, understanding how to properly identify and control hazards is critical for protecting staff and staying compliant.
At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online, CPD-certified Workplace Risk Assessment Training course — ideal for employers, safety officers, and managers across all industries in Ireland and the UK.
A risk assessment is a legal and practical process where you:
Identify potential hazards
Evaluate the likelihood and severity of harm
Decide on appropriate control measures
Record the findings
Review and update regularly
This process is legally required and forms the foundation of your workplace safety plan.
Employers are legally required under:
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (Ireland)
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (UK)
To conduct risk assessments for:
All work activities
New equipment, processes, or environments
Vulnerable groups (e.g. young workers, pregnant employees)
Failure to comply can result in:
Fines and penalties from the HSA or HSE
Increased risk of workplace injury
Legal claims or enforcement action
Effective risk assessments help prevent:
Falls, slips, and trips
Manual handling injuries
Exposure to hazardous materials
Fire and electrical accidents
Repetitive strain and ergonomic issues
Less risk = fewer incidents, insurance claims, and productivity losses.
Training gives your staff confidence to:
Lead toolbox talks and safety briefings
Make informed decisions about controls
Respond to inspections or audit questions
Keep their teams safe and compliant

Team leaders and supervisors
