Risk guide

The HSE has revamped its short guide to risk assessment. The 11-page guide, Five Steps to Risk Assessment (available free at www.hse.gov.uk/risk), has been simplified to make it accessible to non-specialists. HSE deputy chief executive Jonathan Rees said the overhaul shifts the emphasis from risk assessment recording to practical implementation of protective measures. "On its own, paperwork never saved a life," said Rees.
