If a risk has been identified then it needs to be acted upon so as to minimise the level of risk involved. If this is not done then there is a higher level of risk and more chance of a negative outcome.

The purpose of risk assessment is not to remove risks, but to take reasonable steps to reduce them. The process involves looking at the risk, and considering what can be done to make it less likely that the risk will develop into a reality. This can be done through implementing policies and codes of practice, acting in individual’s best interests, fostering culture of openness and support being consistent, maintaining professional boundaries and following systems for raising concerns.

1.3- Explain what risk assessment is and how this is managed in the work setting.

The aim of workplace risk assessments is to identify hazards, evaluate the degree of risk and to put into place control measures to minimise the risk. If the staff team is not involved in the process then they may have little awareness of the hazards and the actions required of them to minimise the risks. This is at odds with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. A risk assessment

Then you consider what safety measures are required to put in place to reduce the risk. Throughout the day and accident or incident should be logged and reviewed constantly at meetings and make sure that you communicate the risks and changes to others to prevent them getting hurt. The risk assessment can help address dilemmas between an individual's rights and health and safety concerns to allow people have awareness then they can work towards avoiding the dangers and keeping others safe within their environment.

You will look at the protecting factor which is a factor that will reduce the risk and help stop the risk becoming a reality. It 's not about getting rid of the risk but helping people to understand the potential consequences and risks that come with day to day living and using the protecting factors to reduce them as much as possible.

This is mentioned in the text, ‘there are risks and we work methodically to reduce the risks.’

Risk management or more know as risk assessments by Dimensions are about identifying risks and finding the most suitable way of making them as safe as possible for the individual service users, service user and in

If the process variable are exceeds a predetermined value, what you can do to make it normal?

Infection- Worker should not come to work if they have an illness that can be passed e.g infection until the risk has gone.

Once there has been a risk management assessment, we can know exactly what to expect and what can be done to prevent any type of risk. We will also know how to deal with any risk while it is happening to contain it.

Risk management is the term applied to a logical and systematic method of establishing the context, identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating, monitoring and communicating risks associated with any activity, function or process in a way that will enable organizations to minimize losses and maximize opportunities. (Lecture notes)Risk Management is also described as 'all the things you need to do to make the future sufficiently certain'. (The NZ Society for Risk Management, 2001)

 analysing the risks to determine the level of risk, which is defined as the

One well accepted description of risk management is the following: risk management is a systematic approach to setting the best course of action under uncertainty by identifying, assessing, understanding, acting on and communicating risk issues. In order to apply risk management effectively, it is vital that a risk management culture be developed. The risk management culture supports the overall vision, mission and objectives of an organization. Limits and boundaries are established and communicated concerning what are acceptable risk practices and outcomes. Since risk management is directed at uncertainty related to future events and outcomes, it is
