This will involve carrying out risk assessments on a regular basis and ensuring that you review them. When completing risk assessments you should look at what hazards and risks are currently present and how these could be improved if you put measures in place to reduce these risks.

Safeguarding – when working in the education and medical fields you need to also look at the safeguarding of both your staff and the students or patients that you have. This often requires the need for systems like the one mentioned above.
