Hi All, i have to develop a risk assessment workshop.
i would appreciate any help or suggested reading materials i can look at which will help.
i would like the workshop to be interactive and have plenty of practical exercises rather than just death by powerpoint presentations.
Gratefull for any suggestions anyone might have.

HSG 183 - and trawl the web for Risk Assessment ppt. - there are some really good ones out there. (Leeds Council is pretty good too).
The key to good Risk Assessment is good preparation and task analysis, getting out there and speaking to people, also knowing where to find the best/good industry /organisation practice you should be measuring your efforts against.

try a group exercise for a fun work day out - bbq on the beach / park, charideee raft race, christmas dinner (with fireworks) or something similar.
That way different teams benchmark and a degree of competition is introduced to do the best one. A bag of goodies for use of terminology, application of the hierarchy of control etc can be a useful incentive.
I always use the HSE 5 steps for this as it encourages structured thought from the identification of 'hazard'. If they get this wrong all else fails so its a good idea to start them off with an example.
BBQ is good as it covers hazards from a wide range and is very topical! Add spice to taste with a game of rounders/5aside or whatever. Introduce wider issues by inviting family.
You set the rules according to the cohort group.
Keep the 'sensible risk' hat on and discuss / dissuade the cotton wool approach which is a natural reaction by newcomers to risk.
No need for powerpoint - just fun.
If you run out of time get them to finish it as an end assessment, if you have too much time do another or common work activity.
Sensible Steve

I have a useful group workshop exercise that we developed out here in Saudi for risk assessment training. You are welcome to adapt it. Based on a catering dept, students enjoy the scenario, brainstorming the control measures then role play at end briefing the manager on outcome. Has been popular and gets the method across successfully.

Thanks to all for the good suggestions, Ron the outcome i want from this workshop is to enable the managers of the company to be able to firstly understand the Risk Assessment Process and then to carry out Risk Assessment once they have returned to their working environment

It might not be exciting but a risk assessment using a task that your managers can identify with would be a useful starter. This way it should not be too difficult to identify the hazards inherent in the task whatever they may be.

Thanks for that Carol.
To me that means you need to be delivering something more formal (by all means include the fun elements)quantifiable and measureable to ensure that the people attending are going away with the necessary skills to conduct a suitable and sufficient Risk Assessment of the tasks, activities etc. in there workplace.
To that end, they need to know where to find and how to apply industry good/best practice and conduct a gap analysis.
With all due respect to colleagues, a Workshop limited to a consideration of Barbecues etc. may serve as a way of teaching principles by is unlikely to meet the greater aims and goals of the Employer.
