When is the right time to get support with your risk assessments?
If your team lacks the expertise or time to effectively identify hazards and implement controls, partnering with Park City can be the solution. We don’t conduct the assessments for you; instead, we guide and train your team, empowering them to confidently carry out thorough risk assessments that meet regulatory requirements. It is essential to use tailored risk assessment forms to address the unique risks and hazards faced by your business.
Our support is especially valuable during periods of growth, expansion to new locations, or the introduction of new equipment or processes. These changes often bring new risks, and our experienced professionals provide a fresh perspective, helping you pinpoint hazards and recommend effective controls. With our Health & Safety services, your risk assessment process will be thorough, robust, and in line with current regulations, ensuring your team has the confidence to manage health and safety independently, including conducting specific assessments related to hazardous substances.
What is a Risk Assessment?
A risk assessment is a systematic process used to identify potential hazards and evaluate the risks they pose in the workplace. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a risk assessment involves a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so you can determine whether you have taken enough precautions or need to do more to prevent harm.
This process is fundamental in reducing accidents and their associated costs, protecting both workers and businesses, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. By identifying potential hazards and implementing effective control measures, businesses can create a safer working environment and minimize the risk of harm.

Control Measures
Control measures are actions taken to eliminate or reduce risks in the workplace. These measures can include:
- Eliminating the Hazard Altogether: Removing the hazard completely from the workplace.
- Substituting the Hazard with a Safer Alternative: Replacing a hazardous process or substance with a less dangerous one.
- Implementing Engineering Controls: Using physical measures such as guards or barriers to reduce exposure to the hazard.
- Implementing Administrative Controls: Establishing procedures, training, and policies to minimize risk.
- Providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using equipment like gloves, masks, or helmets to protect workers from hazards.
The goal of control measures is to minimise risk and prevent harm to workers and others. By implementing effective control measures, employers can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, creating a safer working environment for everyone involved.
