THE BENEFITS OF RISK ASSESSMENT


1. Optimal Productivity- If a positive safety culture exist in an organisation where hazards eliminated and employees are provided with proper workings tools to safely complete tasks, productivity and the quality of the work completed will be higher. Employees should be properly trained on how to do their jobs safely in order to ensure optimal productivity.

2. Creating Awareness - Assessment of risk would enhance health and safety awareness and minimise risks. Working practices can be changed or updated in line with modern developments to make them safer and minimise risks. The assessment might indicate the need for more relevant training to update the skills of employees.


3. Employees Satisfaction- Providing a safe, healthy and stress-free workplace will result in positive employee attitudes, and a stronger commitment to the goals of the company. Safety at work is a major concern for employees.

4. Competent Employees- When people make their decisions regarding where to work, organisations that are known for their commitment to safety in the workplace are likely to be more attractive options for employees.



5. Cost Saving - Fewer injuries lead to fewer costs. Fewer incidents lead to a lesser chance of law suits, fines or penalties from regulatory authorities. Accidents and ill-health inflict significant costs, often hidden and underestimated.


6. Positive Image- Staying away from negative publicity will put you in the good books with the public, but it also increases opportunity for your company. When an organisation is seen as committed to safety, other businesses will want to be associated with your brand.
