Good Morning All,
I know it's close to Christmasnand all, but I do need some help here...
It's an old problem that I'm still to come up with a practical, efficient solution for. As part of our organisations KPI's we need to deliver stats on %'age of Risk Assessments we have completed. In the recent committee meting we had I asked the question; "how do we measure our percentage of completeness, we have no benchmark or reference from which to guage it?" or words to that effect. So now I have the fun job of finding a workable answern to my question (should've kept my big mouth shut)
So I feel that the best way is to create some kind of base task list for activities that are carried out as standard and then another area for 'dynamic' risk assesments that may be project specific and not relevant for a very long period of time.
My organisation is in the public landlord/charitable sector and has many various business areas. Can anybody give me some tips on what may have worked for them? Or where I might find some useful information??
Much appreciated... Jon

Risk Assessments are never "completed". This is a dynamic process where R/As have to be kept under review to reflect changing work environments,equipment,practices and legal requirements.
I honestly don't believe % complete is a sensible performance indicator.

PERHAPS YOU COULD INSTIGATE A CORE COMPETENCIES SYSTEM BASED ON YOUR WORK AREA. EG FIRE , VIOLENCE, MANUAL HANDLING, STRESS, DSE etc

Hi Ron,
I know what you're saying, an individual risk assessment develops with time and regular review, but there must be a sensible way to decide whether the bulk of task based risks within an organisation are covered by an assessment....

Jonathan, perhaps not of immediate help to you but once you have carried out initial assessments on most of your activities you can then measure the percentage of assessments that are current (i.e. the scheduled review date is in the future). You could also keep track of activities that you have identified with significant risk but no formal assessment yet done.
I agree with earlier posters that trying to gauge a percentage of an unknown figure is impossible. It is however realistic to measure the implementation of any additional controls.
Whilst some may see this kind of oversight from a H&S committee as an imposition, better to have an interested body of colleagues monitoring what you are doing than attempting to work "in the dark"
Good luck.

I think you've answered your own question....
Task analysis.
As others have said, the RA process is never a completed one; but in order to establish whether you've considered all RA's then the best way to do this is get managers to identify tasks that are carried out or processes in their areas.
That will then establish the need for RA:)

Now there IS a sensible kpi! "How many of our tasks have we evaluated/monitored/audited to ensure that the controls we have established in our risk assessments are actually being consistently applied by those doing and superivising the work?"
+ Where remedial actions have been identified from that monitoring process, do we have these prioritised against a set of SMART objectives?
