A risk assessment is a careful examination and assessment of what can cause injury, damage, or loss in the workplace. This means that all areas of the production including all activities, tasks, actions, equipment, the location must be carefully considered as part of the process. It should be undertaken by people who understand the production process and are able to identify hazards around all aspects of production.
