Organisations are coming under increasing commercial and regulatory pressures to control risk from their operations.

Most organisations now ensure they comply with the appropriate legislation, with many realising the benefits a formalised approach to health and safety management systems can bring. Organisations “must” comply with Safety Regulations 1999 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 by providing sufficient information to be able to carry out a suitable risk assessment in the workplace.

Workers should be protected from occupational risks they could be exposed to. This can be achieved through a risk management process, which involves the HSE 5 steps to risk assessment and risk controls. SOTERIA can provide an effective risk management process, and a clear understanding of the legal context, concepts, risk analysis, assessment and control processes and the role played by all involved in the process.
