How to carry out a risk assessment

Information and guidance on reviewing any risk assessments and how frequently that should be done

Review risk assessment regularly

​You must regularly review your risk assessments to make sure that they are still valid. It is recommended that you review them at least once a year. 

You should also review them before changes to the following take place:

  • equipment
  • materials
  • people
  • premises
  • processes

It is important to review your risk assessment after an accident or near-miss. This can help prevent them from happening again.​
