Have come across a situation where a Risk Assessment has been sent of with one persons name on it as if it has been completed by them and they have had no input into it at all, they did not sign it but it looks as though it was accepted as their work, would welcome your thoughts on this

Even if the risk assessment is good in all other respects, the act of putting someone's name on it as the author without their knowledge/consent is fraudulent.

This is potentially an offence - false instrument - maybe
It may also be a common occurrence!

Hi JT
My advice - "run for cover now"!
Are you "employed" or an external in the position of "consultant"?
Whilst the RA in question is still currently within the system as it were; it could very easily escape the confines of your system and become the equivalent of a small land-mine for everyone who knew, suspected, or should have known that it was probably fraudulent.
Let's hope that this isn't one of those threads where we are drip-fed additional info that would make the position clearer from the beginning and that this can be resolved by the application of a firm managerial direction to those concerned - starting with a thorough review of all other RAs from the same source.
