| Risk Assessment Policy |
| Written by Non Clinical Risk Manager | ||||
|
The Trust recognises its duty to ensure a safe environment for its staff, patients and visitors as well as meet its statutory Health and Safety duties. To achieve this suitable and sufficient risk assessments are carried out on all work activities and processes which may pose risk to the health, safety and welfare of patients, contractors, staff and visiting members of the general public. The Trust’s Risk Assessment Tool is a generic tool used to assess all risks, both Clinical and Non Clinical, across both hospital sites. Where unacceptable levels of risk are identified, the Trust ensures that adequate control measures are introduced to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, in a time scale appropriate to the risk. The purpose of risk assessment is to make a sensible judgment about risk. NOT the worst case scenario but a sensible assessment of what is likely to happen (the hazard and its consequence).
