Risk assessments are required by law to identify and control significant risks in the workplace. Employers must carry out risk assessments and take reasonably practicable precautions to protect their employees from harm. Carrying out risk assessments is one of the most important steps in improving a health and safety culture.

To do this you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are doing enough to prevent that. This process is known as a risk assessment and it is something you are required by law to carry out. Read more at hse.gov.uk
