Identifying hazards and assessing and controlling risks are central to managing and improving health and safety in your business. You need to have an established way that your business recognizes hazards, and then assesses and controls their associated risks.
These procedures need to be reviewed periodically because of changes that happen ie. Change in legislation, people, processes or the contract.
