HSE guidance on risk assessment

The HSE risk management web pages at: www.hse.gov.uk/risk provide examples of what a risk assessment might look like. There are also electronic templates, aimed particularly at small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These combine the requirements of a health and safety policy, risk assessment and written record of health and safety arrangements into one document. The pages also include online interactive risk assessment tools for shops, charity shops and offices.
