Research has shown that successful organisations pay close attention to the loss prevention and health and safety aspects of their operations. This course demonstrates that risk assessment is the most cost-effective way to ensure that appropriate effort is put into these important areas.

Delegates are provided with the tools to fully understand the concept of risk, to carry out risk assessments and to manage the consequences of risk.

Specifically the Risk Assessment course focuses on:

• Understanding the business reasons for managing risk and realising how effective control reduces both human and financial losses. Many losses are uninsurable and are met from company profits. This course discusses the importance of effective assessment of risk within an organisation’s overall financial strategy.
• Understanding how to identify hazards and assess risk. Practical methods are used to engage the minds of the people closest to the risks. Delegates are presented with an everyday task. Through discovery learning, they identify the associated hazards, evaluate the risks and identify and implement appropriate control measures.
• Understanding how incidents are caused and the connection between company culture and human error. This course demonstrates how a pro-active safety management system, fully supported by senior management, reduces the risk of incidents through human error.
• Current relevant legislation. Most current UK health and safety legislation is ‘goal setting’ based on risk assessment. This course gives delegates an understanding of the relevant legislation, with the focus on increasing company efficiency. Despite effective risk assessment programmes, incidents can still happen and thorough investigations are necessary to identify the root causes. WrightWay Training’s Incident Investigation course fully covers this area.

It is often the case that organisations know where their internal problems can be found. However they sometimes find it difficult to solve their problems and also have difficulty in identifying the exact nature of the problem. The objective of our consultancy is to develop, with the clients, effective and interesting solutions to unstructured business problems.

• "This course will certainly help me to carry out effective incident investigation."
• "The use of actual incidents to explain the theory was extremely useful".
• "This helps us to look for the root causes in incident investigations".
• "I now understand the need to carry out more detailed risk assessment and how to do it".
• "This helps us to understand that time and commercial pressures should not impair or override safety at any time and that safety is very much in the interest of the owners as well as those on board".
