During this session we address the following issues:
What’s important?
How can I make sure I’m ‘as safe as possible’?
What do I need to do about my risk assessment?

‘Safe’
….means different things to different people.

Terminology:
What is a hazard?A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm
e.g. scaffolding with no guard rails or volatile toxic chemicals
What is risk?A risk is the likelihood that a hazard will cause harm
e.g. if there are no guard rails on the scaffolding it is likely that a construction worker will fall off and if there are no safety measures then it is likely you will breathe the chemicals in
