Hi Everyone

I've got 3 job interviews coming up at the end of the month and for one of them, I will need to do a 15 minute presentation on risk assessment aimed at line managers in manufacturing with little knowledge of health and safety. I already have one presentation I use on a regular basis - it's very basic (based on the 5 steps) and I'd like to see some others if possible.

Would anyone be willing to send me their powerpoint presentations on risk assessment?

Cheers
Mags

Mags,

Keep it simple and try not to mention H&S law or Regulations as they do not need to know, just what it means and how to do it!

If you have ever sat in a H&S presentation for 'shop floor people' and HASAW Sect 2 says this and Reg 3 of Man Regs says that and hey presto they are all asleep and you lost them.

If you do this its safer and productivity increase etc

If you already have a presentation that you use regularly you will be familiar with it and should be comfortable in presenting it. Using the HSE 5 steps is a good starting point as it covers all the key points.

An explanation of the purpose of risk assessments is always useful, along with the emphasis on assessing 'significant' risks.

You might also widen it slightly by including risk assessments for specific subjects such as fire, hazardous substances, noise, first aid etc.

Best of luck with the interviews.

Thank you all for your responses, especially those that sent me their presentations. I was pleased that none of them differed too much from what I already had - a good indication that I must be along the right lines anyway!

Now, all I have to worry about are the questions I'm likely to be asked....
