Description
Legal Framework for Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is a required skill for all managers and employees. While your
manager may be responsible for the formal assessments used to create safe
working policies; you are responsible for the kind of informal assessments that
enable you to do things safely.
There are a variety of Acts and regulations in place to protect workers and people
who may be put at risk by working practice. Our modern health and safety legislation
really began with:
The Health and Safety at Work (etc) Act (HSWA) 1974
The Health and Safety at Work Act was the first piece of legislation designed to
cover all types of work and working environments. It is described as a framework, or
skeleton, act because it gives general guidance on many issues, but further
legislation was required to add detail and give specific responsibilities for controlling
risks.
