Can anyone give me some ideas on this, does it mean what health and safety risks there are and the likely outcome, measures to control and so on, on a form. Does anyone care is it just another way of listing your hazards associated with your business. all answers on a postcard please or alternativly post a responce and email me.
Lastly does anyone have a powerpoint presentation on health and safety awareness for supervisors and managers they are willing to share with me
Cheers Jim

Yes-it would cover all the risks that a company would face. That does mean all the risks ie, loss of key staff member through illness or death, fire destroying records, bombs, malicious damage, floods, robbery, blackmail and all kinds of other issues that a business may face. Its more an excersise that a risk mannager would carry out than a safety person or at least in conjunction with a safety person. The idea is to look at global risk and taking the blinkers off. Once this has been identified-controls can be devised.
Cheers

The previous respondent is correct - a business risk register is not just health and safety risks, it is any risk that the business may have. Obviously they are only intended to capture significant risks, otherwise the register would be never ending.
Risks to the business may be business interuption, financial, PR related,pressure groups, etc
i..e anything that may put the business at risk of a significnat loss, either affecting income or even the continued viability of the business

The company I work for uses the term business risk register to cover not just all the items listed by the previous respondent but also all the commercial/contractual & legal risks as well. This gives a really good picture of the company as a whole and makes it much easier to focus on control measures that will have a global impact on all aspects of the company management structure.

There are two areas you may be referring to The first of these is business continuity planning and the other is risk management which assesses risks arising, not just from threats to a business, but opportunities too.
There is a very useful web site on business continuity designed for small and medium sized businesses but with practical advice for all. The material on the site ranges from a quick assessment form through 'how to' templates and checklists, up to information for business continuity specialists. (http://www.londonprepared.gov.uk/business/businesscont/index.htm).
Risk management is a little more complex but you can get some helpful guidance from the OGC website (http://www.ogc.gov.uk/sdtoolkit/workbooks/risk/).
Hope this helps

Posted By Ian Brough Hi James. We are currently undertaking a Business Continuity Plan (well hoping to learn how to do one). A good web site to visit to gain a better understanding is www.thebci.org/

Our risk register includes such things as loss of critical services to the sites (water / sewerage / power etc); bankruptcy or loss of a key sole supplier; H & S extreme emergencies (death / disease type); malicious contamination of finished products etc rather than the usual H & S suspects in a straightforward hazard list.
We have taken it to mean anything which poses a risk to the business from whatever angle either internal or external, including international issues (we can be affected quite badly by French lorry driver blockades - critical to the business but definitely not an H & S issues (other than stress!))

All risk issues (including health, safety and environmental) that could impact upon the successful operation of a business should be addressed through the requirements of 'corporate governance' as set out by the Turnbull report. Any publicly listed company is bound by the dtrectives of the stock exchange. Compliance with Turnbull would require the compilation of a business risk register. E-mail me direct if you require any further info.
