Risk assessment should be seen as a continuing process. Thus, the adequacy of control measures should be subject to continual, routine review and revised if necessary. Similarly, if conditions change to the extent that hazards and risks are significantly affected than risk assessments should also be reviewed since there is a now reason to believe that it is no longer valid.
Typical circumstances that might require a review of the risk assessment include;
• Changes of premises - internal or external layout
• Changes of personnel affected - numbers, ages, disabilities
• Changes to plant/equipment - power supplies, heating systems Introduction of new work processes - hot work, confined spaces, mechanical handling
• Changes in legislation
• Upon availability of new information - revised guidance documents, new research
• As a result of incident reports
• As a result of occupational health assessment or monitoring
• As a result of routine active monitoring - inspections, audits, safety tours
• As a result of enforcement action
• As a result of consultation
• An accident
