Generic Risk Assessments
The University has developed a number of generic risk assessments. These can help you to produce your own risk assessments by adapting them suit your specific circumstances. Whilst it has been stated that your risk assessment should be reviewed at least once every 3 years, there may be situations where you would want to extend or shorten this review period. For example, in some higher risk areas, a more frequent review may be required, or your risk assessment may warrant an earlier review following an incident or a significant change.
You will need to consider:
- People - the people involved the activity including any pregnant workers and young persons
- Task - the work carried out including any unusual tasks
- Equipment - the different types of work equipment used including any power tools or machinery
- Materials - the different materials used including any chemicals, biological materials or radiation sources
- Environment - the lighting, ventilation, temperature, worksurfaces, flooring, weather, etc.
A template Risk Assessment for the Control of Infectious Diseases can be found on the infectious diseases webpage.
