Creating a risk management process is a holistic way to approach your safety management – the process accepts that risks are inevitable in every workplace and acts proactively to resolve the risk to reduce chances of injury or mishandling.

Why is risk management beneficial to my business?
Risk management helps maintain the safety of a workplace, allowing staff and employers to go about their daily duties in a safe way. Your business can expect to become a safer place as a result of implementing a risk management process.
Risk management is a worthwhile investment, as a specific and detailed process helps to reduce the likelihood of workplace incidents and accidents. These accidents can cost businesses thousands of dollars every year and can leave an unprepared business in financial trouble.
