A risk assessment is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork, but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your workplace. The law does not expect you to remove all risks, but to protect people by putting in place measures to control those risks. You are probably already taking steps to protect your employees, but your risk assessment will tell you whether you should be doing more.

It is not 'rocket science', risk assessment is often just about common sense. Simply ensuring your workplace is a safe environment for all who work there and anyone who may be affected by your processes.
