Types of Risk Assessment

Hazards associated with the work you undertake need to be assessed to ensure that appropriate controls are in place. Some risk assessments can be conducted in advance – we call these Generic and Specific Risk Assessments.

In addition to the hazards we can assess in advance, there are likely to be hazards encountered at non-Rolls-Royce sites that are specific to the particular location / situation – hazards that are often dynamic in nature due to the progress of the work activity. Such hazards also need to be assessed to understand the level of risk they pose and whether any additional controls are required. Such assessments are called Dynamic Risk Assessments.
