Introduction
STC’s Task Risk Assessment training course provides delegates with a proven task risk assessment model that is based on good practices designed to be practical and easy to use.
The objective of Task Risk Assessment is to keep personnel safe and free from injury, prevent loss of production and damage to equipment and the environment; basically prevent incidents and maintain profits.
Task Risk Assessment is an evaluation of the hazards that are present whilst performing a task and the best way to mitigate the risks.
Task Risk Assessment is the modern proactive approach to incident prevention. Whatever mitigation measures are put in place there will always remain a level of residual risk.
