CIEH Risk Assessment Certificate in Principles and Practice
A properly implemented programme of risk assessments can assist in the prevention of injuries, fatalities, property damage incidents and other losses. This not only helps to prevent human loss and suffering but also assists the effective management and finance of any care home. Apart from the corporate and personal benefits arising from risk assessment, have a legal duty to make suitable and sufficient assessments of the risks to the health and safety of residents, employees, non-employees and the self employed.
The Risk Assessment: Principles and Practice programme is a level 2 qualification designed for anyone with a responsibility to conduct risk assessments. It is particularly useful for managers and supervisors but it will be equally beneficial to individual workers, team leaders contributing to the risk assessment process.
Employers need to ensure that individuals carrying out risk assessments are competent to do so. Competency does not necessarily require particular qualifications but involves a combination of knowledge, experience, skills and personal qualities. Assessors must have an understanding of the workplace and work activities, knowledge of the best practicable means to reduce risks and an ability to make informed judgements. A necessary precursor is that they have adequate knowledge and understanding of the principles of, and procedures for carrying out risk assessments; this is the subject of this qualification.
