In every work environment, there are hazards that could cause your workers harm. The word risk describes how likely that harm is to happen and how severe that harm could be.
Your business must have a clear process in place to eliminate or minimise risks to your workers.
All employers should follow a four-step risk management process to protect workers from injury.
Strep 1. Identify Hazards
Step 2. Assess Risks
Step 3. Control Risks
Step 4. Review Controls

At Focus On EHS we specialise in helping businesses identify, assess, and manage workplace risks. We work closely with companies to develop customised risk assessment plans that focus on preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment for employees. Our approach involves a thorough analysis of potential hazards, whether physical, chemical, or ergonomic, and developing practical strategies to mitigate these risks.
We also provide training and guidance to staff, ensuring everyone is well-versed in safety protocols and emergency procedures. This proactive approach not only reduces the likelihood of workplace incidents but also helps businesses comply with health and safety regulations, avoiding costly fines and legal issues.
