Work accidents and work related ill health, can ruin lives, and seriously affect your business also, if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase, or you have to go to court.
You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace.
The important thing you need to decide is whether a hazard is significant, and whether you have taken satisfactory precautions to minimize the risk.
If you are a small firm owner, and you are confident you understand what is involved, you can carry out a risk assessment yourself. You do not have to be a Health and Safety expert. If you are a larger firm, then you may want to assign a responsible employee, safety representative or safety officer to carry out the task. You can also obtain advice from outside companies, who have specialised in this type of work.

Who would expect that watching a fifty year celebration for Larry King would get me thinking about the attributes of great coaches, sales professionals, clients, consultants, you name it. The other night while watching Larry being interviewed by Katie Couric, Katie asked Larry what makes a great guest. His response got me thinking. Larry said they have PASSION; they are able to clearly ARTICULATE what they do; they have a CHIP ON THEIR SH

You probably know already, whether you have machinery that could cause harm, or if there is an awkward entrance or stairway where someone could be hurt. If so, check that you have taken all reasonable precautions you can to avoid accidents and prevent injury.
Lets take a closer look at Steps 1 and 2.
