I have just started at a farm that has a processing plant that freezes veg.
Can anyone help me, I have been asked to look at Risk Assessment. I don not find any evidence that any have been done in the past so I have no starting point
Please Please any help Nigel.

Have you any experience of risk assessment yourself? Either way I would suggest you could use the HSE 5 steps approach ie:-
- ID the hazards
- Decide who might be harmed & how
- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions (in my book it's 2 steps but hey if HSE insists it's 1 then fair play)
- Record the significant findings & implement
- Review
You can ID hazards lots of ways eg walkaround hazard spotting, talking to people etc. I would probably go for task or process based - map out the stages / tasks then follow the "five (or is it six?) steps to risk assessment for each stage.
I am not sure you can just apply other RAs for frozen food packers etc as the premises and processes may be very different.

As well as the normal risk assessments you will most likely need to do Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points, with it being a food product.( HACCP as it is normaly called )
