Review

Risk assessments must be reviewed regularly. For very low risks, this means an annual review. However, if control measures have been implemented, it might be necessary to review these more regularly. It is especially important to review risk assessments following any accident or near miss incident, significant changes to procedures or equipment, or changes in the law. For any moderate, substantial or intolerable risks, continual review of risk assessments until risks have either been eliminated or controlled to a tolerable level is necessary.
