Assessment of risk

The purpose of the assessment is to enable an informed decision to be made by employers about the validity of measures to eliminate or minimise risks from chemicals. The assessment should be carried out by employers or by persons acting on their behalf who have the necessary information, instruction and training and are competent to do so. It should include:

  • Assessment of risks
  • Appraisal of control measures
  • Action programme

As you have decided that your country has high resources to implement an occupational safety and health management scheme, the option proposed is to require risk assessments to be developed adapted to the specific workplace situations.

Also see the Risk assessment element of the Industrial Chemicals Management Scheme.
