Risk Assessment Matters
Risk Assessment Matters
What you need to know.
Risk assessment has become a crucial feature of business planning for many businesses. For some, it's just a sensible way of keeping an eye on what the competition's up to or keeping hold of your best employees. But when you're in the business of providing public services - and especially when you transport service users from A to B - the stakes can be considerably higher.
Peace of Mind
Whatever the size of the company or charity you work with, knowing that you've undertaken an appropriate risk assessment exercise is fundamental to ensuring peace of mind for your clients, your staff and your organisation. Fortunately help is at hand in the form of an excellent CD available from the Community Transport Association.
This practical guide takes you through the key issues and offers a step by step guide to carrying out your own, ongoing risk assessment exercises. Features covered include how to:
-
Carry out risk assessments for all aspects of your organisation
- Carry out risk assessments for activities involving drivers, passenger assistants, office staff and passengers, etc.
- Carry out risk assessments appropriate to both paid staff and volunteers
- Decide who is at risk, what control measures can be put in place to reduce the risk and the level of the residual risks
- Add additional risks and control measures to those prompted by the software
- Save risk assessments to the hard drive of your computer and print them out as required
A one-year single user licence for the CD costs £58.75 including VAT and postage.
