Important reminder
This example risk assessment shows the kind of approach a small business might take. Use it as a guide to think through
some of the hazards in your business and the steps you need to take to control the risks. Please note that it is not a generic
risk assessment that you can just put your company name on and adopt wholesale without any thought. This would not
satisfy the law and would not be effective in protecting people.
Every business is different you need to think through the hazards and controls required in your business for yourself.
