Forgive me for being nosey but why would you want to put together a comprehensive directory of risk asesments, many of which I would assume have no relation to the work you or your company undertake?

You name it i have seen it over the past 10 years in Office, Construction, etc.
If i was compiling something that would not be of use i would stop now but Croner sell something similar for hundreds of pounds so its more cost effective for me to compile my own. Thus reducing my Clients fees so everyones happy.
The risk assessments are along the scale of toolbox talks subjects
Hope this clarifys things for you
Also a special thanks for all who have responded via email

Why? What use are these to you, and what evidence will you have that they are (a) suitable and sufficient, and (b) were carried out by competent persons???????

Well said Ron - Risk Assessments should be specific to a task, environment and an organisation.
Down with Generic Assessments!!

For info I'm a registered Practitioner and hold MIOSH and have done so for 15 years do you honestly think i'm going to use them in their present form. They are referrence for a book i'm compiling and without knowing what the book is about your butting in like some demented goat
I think you lot have been train spotting for too long bring on the new breed of health & safety consultants who are pragmatic in their role

If you are asking your fellow professionals to let you have information they have worked on (and which in most cases will belong to organisations they work for) for a book you are compiling perhaps you should explain what the book is about.
Initially it was to avoid you buying other publications (to help your clients) now it's for a book. Why not be upfront. It would avoid you having to become so defensive when you are questioned because you have given only sparse information.
Personally, I think clients are being shortchanged if they are paying for advice which they could look up in the publications you mention, but perhaps I'm not au fait with the new breed of health and safety consultants.

I'm all for being pragmatic - safety isn't a theoretical business. However I don't see how looking up a generic risk assessment in a book is pragmatic, so your comment about the "new breed" of consultants is a bit of a non sequitur.
Calling people goats and train spotters isn't going to get you much help here either BTW.

That's one user who has successfully alienated himself from the future help and support of several users of the Forum. This particular "train-spotting demented goat" is somewhat offended and sees nothing particularly wrong in asking for some clarification on a posting. To ask 'why' is surely the basis for the very foundation of our occupation.

I don't think you're demented Ron. Can't comment on the other accusations though ;)
