Posted By Nick Oxley I've been asked to carry out a risk review similar to that performed by insurance companies. The idea being that the results of the review will be kept inhouse without our insurers involvement, for reasons of cost etc. Can anyone out there point me in the direction of a useful proforma or way of doing this.

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney Nick This would be an audit of your company/place of work etc to establish what risk factors there are and what action is deemed appropriate to minimise incidents. If you actually perform this task similar to an insurance company you can't go wrong, look at the business with a view to producing a risk premium as if it were your own money being claimed against, and look to see how any foreseeable risk may be reduced to as lower percentage as possible, the list is long and one should remember that if it can happen in your thoughts then it is most certainly a possibility that it will (that was the polite and printable version) You could do no worse than look upon it as a giant risk assessment, who is at risk or what? Current control measures, accident statistics, people and vehicular movement has anything changed lately? Have there been more reported incidents? the level of risk involved, your own people, visitors, invited and uninvited, contractors, assessments of companies that you are involved with that have the potential to cause you problems, can you control that? The list goes on and on but if you take a firm and sensible stance you will produce a system that will ultimately reduce risk in general terms. If you need to examine areas that your own level of expertise is limited then involve others that can help you. Pro forma wise you are the one who should produce it as you know your business better that I could ever possibly speculate on; some of the things I have mentioned may not be relevant, again only you know the answers to that one, either way, take it steady and methodically and you should be able to produce a glowing and satisfying report. Good luck Charles

Posted By Fred Pratley Nick, Try a uk search on "total loss control" on the internet. If not, British Safety Council (sorry iosh) used to have a useful booklet on this subject. Regards Fred
