Link Health and Safety Services

The same sort of accidents that cause injuries and illnesses can also lead to company damage with possible business interruptions. Identifying hazards and assessing risks, deciding what precautions are needed, putting them in place and checking on their effectiveness, protects people, improves quality and safeguards the business.

Risk management is the cornerstone of the process, which identifies the most efficient combination of controls necessary to provide reasonable assurance that business objectives can be achieved reliably.

There are increasing requirements for corporate governance in all sectors of business. Systems have to be auditable and accountable with a means of prioritisation which supports time, effort and resources.

Risk might initially be described as anything that could stop a company from achieving it's safety or business objectives. It can include both things that could go wrong and the things that have to go right in order for objectives to be achieved. Risk is a concept that enables prioritisation.
