    Training Assessments

    Regular reviews are an important part of risk assessment. They are an opportunity to look at any changes that may have occurred, such as:

    • Staff – number, age, experience, responsibilities.
    • Equipment – new machines.
    • Methods – revised processes.
    • Building structure – new facilities.

    Note all changes since the last review and check what additional information, instruction and training that you should provide.

    A training needs assessment is a cost effective way to begin targeting the high risk areas. A “fresh pair of eyes” to look over your safety provisions can help to spot areas for improvement.
