Frequently asked questions
what is a risk assessment for?
A risk assessment is an inventory of all potential work-related risks within your organisation and the associated measures to eliminate, reduce or mitigate them.
You can find more information in this article: Risk analysis: six frequently asked questions.
how do I prepare a risk assessment for my company?
The assessment’s main purpose is to identify all occupational hazards so that you can then link them to preventive measures. The identification of these risks takes place at three levels: the organisation as a whole, workstations or jobs, and individual employees.
You can find more information in this article: Risk analysis: six frequently asked questions.
who prepares the risk assessment?
Preparing a risk assessment is a joint effort involving a number of people and departments, under the responsibility of the employer and the line management.
They are supported by the risk prevention advisors at the internal and external occupational health and safety service, who play an advisory and coordinating role and have expertise in the areas of well-being, risk management and legislation.

how often should I update my risk assessment?
A risk assessment is a snapshot of all potential hazards within the organisation. Whenever something changes in the setting or context in which people work, it therefore needs to be adjusted – for example, if you start a new activity, make changes to infrastructure or reorganise teamwork arrangements.
You can find more information in this article: Risk analysis: six frequently asked questions.
there aren’t any hazardous products or processes in my company, so is a risk assessment still required?
Yes, because every work environment entails risks, no matter how limited. The Well-being law therefore states that every organisation must have what’s known as a dynamic risk management system.

am I required to conduct additional assessments for specific risk areas?
If your employees or certain teams are exposed to specific hazards (e.g. working at height, chemicals, extreme temperatures), you must conduct a more in-depth assessment of the hazards and measures for that risk context.
