Risk assessment
Do not wait for the first accident to happen, prevent accidents now
‘Nothing will happen to me’ is a common phrase which we hear very often in our practice. We hear this statement often at Forus, when we carry out fire safety inspections, maintain technical equipment, or organise trainings or drills, for example.
Of course, we all hope that nothing will happen, but based on our experience, something can always go wrong.
We can draw up a comprehensive risk assessment for you so you can minimise different risks in your business operations. In simple terms, a risk assessment means the assessment of different risks and suggesting measures for preventing accidents.
There are many potential scenarios and different risks. They begin outside of the building. We advise all authorities to prepare a risk assessment to prevent accidents.
Pursuant to the Chemicals Act, risk assessment is a mandatory document for an enterprise with a major hazard and a dangerous enterprise.
The rules of organising different entertainment and sports events prescribe drawing up a risk assessment and security plan.
Risk assessments may only be conducted by qualified specialists who hold the highest professional standard (level 5) of a security manager. Forus has the required competence and valued experts.
Some examples of the risks involved in business operations that should be assessed
- Fire, arson, or another fire-related accident.
- Work-related accidents on site.
- Vandalism, break-in, or robbery.
- Extreme weather events.
- Overheating of the technology at events.
- Security of the neighbourhood.
- Impacts of the business operations on surrounding objects or the environment.
Risk assessment – little moves make a difference
We often see in our practice obstacles on escape routes in buildings or flammable materials stored too close to buildings, for example. It is not difficult for the owner to eliminate these shortcomings.
Did you know that even those suggestions for improvement which seem small at first glance may often significantly mitigate the risks – getting additional fire extinguishers, installing supplementary lights or surveillance equipment, etc.
Order your risk assessment from a competent company like Forus.
