Explain why it is important to assess health and safety risks

Understand risk assessments and their importance in relation to health and safety

Without assessing health and safety risks, we would not be able to determine  the group of people may potentially be affected. We also would not be able to determine exact control measure in order to eliminate risks. There might be another risk behind the identified risk or further risk may arise from control measure which has been placed. If we do not assess health and safety risks properly then we will not be able to determine right action plan to eliminate the risk and can cause harm to anyone.
