In the context of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), risk assessment is the process of determining and identifying the risk and hazards based on severity and likelihood of work injuries, property damage ill-health etc. Some companies or organisations conduct a risk assessment in their workplace because it’s a legal requirement and there is no way to get around that. But when you come to know about the real benefits provided by risk assessment in your workplace then it helps motivate you to actually do it.
