Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments Services
Employers are required to assess and manage risks arising from their work activities. A suitable and sufficient risk assessment should identify hazards, consider who may be harmed and set out the control measures required to reduce risk.
Wooltown Safety Services can prepare and review practical risk assessments for construction activities, workplace hazards, plant, equipment and project-specific work.

Site-Specific Risk Assessments
Generic risk assessments can provide a useful starting point, but they may not reflect the actual site conditions, work sequence, equipment, workforce or hazards involved in a particular activity.
Wooltown Safety Services can adapt assessments to the specific project or workplace so that the control measures reflect the work that will actually be carried out.

Risk Assessment Reviews
Existing risk assessments should be reviewed where there has been a significant change, where an incident has occurred or where there is reason to believe the assessment is no longer valid. We can review existing documents for gaps, outdated controls or inconsistencies with current site arrangements.
