Posted By Bob Shillabeer When you assess a risk and produce the necesary documentation, I assume you date and sign it. This is then the current risk assessment. When you review it you will need to demonstrate the outcome of that review. If the risk assessment remains valid you can simple enter the date it was reviewed and found adequate plus a signature of the person who undertook the review. If, however, the risk assessment was found to be inadequate, you will complete a new risk assessment to bring it up to date, therefore the old assesment is no longer valid and must be replaced by the new one. This will require a record of the old one being maintained and the new one would then be the current documented assessment. It is simply a case of maintaining a document control system which maintains the previous documents for historical reasons and demon strating the validity of current documents.
