subject: Why Conduct A Health And Safety Risk Assessment? [print this page] A committee of experts who will identify all the risks and hazards in the workplace will do the health and safety assessment of a company. If there is no safety policy and emergency plan, they will create new ones or they will amend the shortcomings and loopholes in the older ones. The benefit being that it will vastly improve your business. An assessment ensures that work will not face disruptions due to an accident because of an unnoticed hazard. It will ensure that your insurance covers the smallest of mishaps. It will ensure your employees are satisfied. The assessment will also help you to ensure that you do not have to waste company resources on compensation to victims of accidents and mishaps. Similarly, there will be no legal complications and the company will not face bad publicity because of fines and other legal dilemmas due to lack of safety standards.
