Risk Assessment
IMASS has developed a Risk Assessment system which is ideal for both SME’s and some larger concerns, depending on the nature of the business. Following HSE guidance, the IMASS Risk Assessment approach concentrates on Process Risk Assessment, backed-up by a range of detailed assessment systems as diverse as DSE, Fork-lift-trucks, New and Expectant Mothers and Manual Handling (Lifting, Pushing & Pulling).

The IMASS portfolio of Assessment tools is constantly developing, but can sometimes be limited by our in-house knowledge base. Where there is a requirement for a specifically detailed expert assessment, IMASS works with a network of specialist providers who can assist with assessment in specialist areas including Radio Frequency hazards, High Voltage Electrical, towers and masts etc.
Risk Assessment System
The IMASS Risk Assessment system is the basic component of a package which will support and help manage Health and Safety in the workplace.
The requirement to assess risk has been implied since the publication of the 1974 Heath and Safety at Work etc. Act. Since 1992 undertaking a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk employees and non employees who may be effected by your undertaking has been a requirement .
The IMASS Risk Assessment system is designed to help both the experienced and non- experienced undertake suitable and sufficient assessments of workplaces, activities and systems, firstly through a system of Hazards identification.
Then:-
By identifying those systems in place which control hazards and any additional controls required, an assessment of the existing Risk can be made. Remedial actions may then be determined and action ownership with timescales stated.
IMASS Risk Assessment comes on a CD or may be loaded direct onto your IT Network. Both systems use the same front page which enables the user to navigate around the documents.
40 separate categories of Hazard are related by hyperlink to a hierarchy of control measures giving guidance and enhancing user confidence and quality of result.
12 categories of Hazard are supported by further detailed Risk Assessments, including:
DSE Electricity
Ergonomic Expectant Mothers
Fire First Aid
Fork Lift Truck Light Level Surveys
Machine Assessments Manual Handling
Noise Warehouse
IMASS will deliver training to you on your site. Alternatively we can train at our, or any other facility, if you prefer. We will make an initial visit to you, during which we will discuss your company’s needs and any existing management methods we can dovetail in to the IMASS system. We also like to understand your organisation, so we can provide you and your people with a product which will give you a practical system and support which is fit for purpose and on which you can rely.
All personnel who are trained will receive full supporting documentation; they will only be deemed competent following an evaluation by IMASS of an actual Risk Assessment they have undertaken.
Finally, we can help you develop a Risk Assessment Management System to help deliver the right information to the location it is required.
Courses will be delivered by a fully qualified Health & Safety Professional who is a qualified teacher and who has a wealth of experience in the field of education.
Our tutor will educate your Assessors. Having undertaken the training they will be conversant with a range of legislative requirements and understand the concepts and terminology of Risk Assessment in the field of Occupational Health & Safety.
The IMASS Risk Assessment Course is designed around the concept of Student Centered Learning. A practical, which will be assessed within three weeks of the end of the course by one of our consultants, will finalise the training. At this stage competency will be confirmed.
The IMASS Risk Assessment system has been adopted by a number of companies in a diverse range of industries. These include a National Telecommunications provider, A glass products manufacturer, an Automotive Component Manufacturer, an International Switching Control manufacturer and a National Food producer to name a few.
