You don't risk assess epilepsy.

If someone has epilepsy then you consult an occupational health specialist or doctor to determine specific work requitements / restrictions for that individual.

Whilst the advice they give may be sound about what potential risk there may be etc they are using the term RA wrong. And I love how they say the the HSE and EMAS can arrange for RA's for you!!! lol
