I'm doing a review on my RA system and wondered if any of the forum have examples to share that include an financial aspect to cover where the assmt requires a capital outlay and needs to be recorded in that assmt. I have seen one that was biased towards manual handling but wondered if there were any others? Should you be willing to share the pls forward a copy to my works emal: barrie@crane-electronics.com As ever all assistance in this subject will be most apreciated. Badger

Barrie You express interest in a risk assessment with 'an financial aspect to cover where the assmt requires a capital outlay and needs to be recorded in that assmt'. I can understand why you and Bob express reservations about 'competence'. What is even more relevant are cultural assumptions that govern both strategic financial decisions and how other managers perceive safety risk assessments and other tasks of your role. These may be recorded in minutes of Board meetings but important ones are usually not recorded and require informationi from someone present at most Board meetings.
