E. Record your Findings

The law requires that all the significant findings from your risk assessments, along with any conclusions that you may have arrived at for example:

Fumes from welding - local exhaust ventilation provided and regularly checks must be recorded.

The law states that you do not have to show how you carried out the assessment, provided that you can show that a proper check was made that:

• Identified the hazards
• Identified who is at risk
• Existing control measures and precautions
• Proposed action if required.
• Actions taken and complete

To ensure this we use the General Risk Assessment Form RA1 for all risk assessments.

Completed General Risk Assessment RA1 forms to be circulated as follows:

• Health & Safety Manager
• Line Manager
• Affected Personnel
• Copy Retained locally

Complete the Risk Assessment Listing and Review Form RA2 with all area and activity risk assessments carried out. Also, record the date the risk assessment was carried out.

Risk assessments must be reviewed annually or if the activity or area changes in any way. Record all reviews and changes and the date.

Action taken and Complete

When the proposed action has been completed the Manager completes this section on his/her copy. Copies to be held locally and sent to the Health and Safety Manager.
