Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

Case law has shown that a generic list of risks and their possible effects is not a risk assessment, although it is a tool for carrying out a risk assessment. A risk assessment requires a consideration of the particular hazards in a particular workplace (Home Farm Trust Ltd v Nnachi [2007] UKEAT/0400/07).
