Ensuring safety is always a priority: Castrol HSSE coordinator Vince Haskins explains why a health and safety risk assessment is more than just good business practice for manufacturing companies in ensuring that safety is always a priority

摘要

Commonsense isn't always as common as we might think, which is why risk assessment in today's manufacturing environments is more than just good business practice, it's absolutely essential - and that means accurately identifying, evaluating and managing the impact of risk. For example, the daily health and safety risks that come from operating a machine shop present a real threat -especially as they directly affect the working environment. There is extensive evidence of the serious consequences of getting it wrong, which is why Castrol helps customers by conducting risk assessments that are structured, business focused and tailored to each company's needs. These can be developed in one of two ways: assessing the hazards present in specific working areas or those present in performing particular tasks.
