B1 The risk assessment process is designed to evaluate the potential for harm (person or environment) against the likelihood of the event occurring for any work activity or procedure. This process is a requirement under the provisions of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and can initially be a simple consideration of the activity/procedure in order to identify potential hazards. Should none be identified, no further action is required. If a potential hazard or hazards are detected, then a full assessment using the Company Risk assessment form must be carried out (see: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/osheu/toolkit/raindex.htm).
