While carrying out the risk assessment, it is vital to ensure that all the relevant risks are considered, ensure that the adopted safety measures are efficient, documenting the assessment findings, and reviewing the assessment so as to keep it updated (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, 2013). This implies that risk assessment is a task that has to be carried regularly. While carrying out the assessment, there are many tools that can be used in analyzing the extent of the risk and the threat posed by the risk.
Such tools are important since they help the management of the organization in determining the hazards present in the organization and finding ways that they can handle them so as to minimize the threat posed. Further, the tools are used in verifying the extent of the risk that is faced by the organization. These tools analyze the various factors that are associated with the hazard so as to detect the risk and enhance safety. The paper will specifically look at the risk assessment in SP & Company Gym building which is located in the Chelsea region, London.
The Company provides a formidable team that strives to provide quality services to the clients. A risk tick list, also known as a checklist, is used to provide all information that can be used in ensuring the safety of a place. In determining the elements that should be checked, the hazard is identified and an analysis done to find the ways in which the risk posed by the hazard can be kept at minimal. This implies that the checklist will constitute those elements that are meant to facilitate the safety of the room.
For instance, when in a room with inflammable material like when checking for fire safety, the checklist will constitute elements like checking for the presence of fire extinguishers, checking that the chemicals are kept in rooms that have the optimal described temperatures, and not in high-temperature rooms, checking that the storage cans have relief valves to release excess pressure in case the pressure in the storage cans gets too high, and checking that the cans have labels indicating the danger posed by the contents.
