IOSH Managing Safely Practice Test

Documenting findings related to existing hazards is a crucial component of the risk assessment process. This aspect of the process ensures that all identified risks are thoroughly evaluated and recorded. By documenting these findings, organizations can track potential hazards, assess their severity and likelihood, and implement appropriate control measures to mitigate risks. This documentation serves not only as a baseline for understanding workplace safety but also demonstrates compliance with health and safety legislation, providing a clear record that can be referred to during audits or reviews. Adequate documentation supports ongoing risk management and allows for the continuous improvement of safety practices within the organization.

While personal records of employees, projected revenue, and employee feedback can be valuable in their own contexts, they do not directly pertain to the systematic hazard identification and assessment that forms the core of a risk assessment. Hence, their documentation is not as critical during this specific process.
