Independent assessment confirms the content meets the standards expected by employers, insurers and inspectors across the UK.
The course covers the risk assessment process every UK employer is required to follow under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 — how to identify hazards, decide who could be harmed, evaluate the risks, choose proportionate control measures, and review the assessment when things change. Designed for managers, supervisors and the people doing the work, it gives every learner the practical knowledge to spot risks, document them properly, and put effective controls in place.
Risk assessment isn't paperwork for paperwork's sake — it's how UK workplaces stay safe, productive and out of court. This course gives every employer, manager and employee the tools to:
Taking this course helps learners:
Completing this course supports your organisation's compliance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, demonstrates a proactive approach to safety, and gives every learner the confidence to lead a clear, practical risk assessment.
The course is divided into five short, interactive modules:
1. Introduction to Risk Assessment
2. The Five Steps of Risk Assessment
3. Identifying Hazards and Who Could Be Harmed
4. Evaluating Risks and Applying the Hierarchy of Control
5. Recording, Reviewing and Specific Assessments
Each module includes interactive elements and short reviews to reinforce learning and prepare you for the final assessment.
At the end of the course there is a short final assessment in multiple-choice format. You'll need 75% to pass. If you don't pass first time, retakes are completely free of charge — there's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Once you've passed, your RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited Risk Assessment Training certificate is issued instantly and is available to download and print straight from your account — ready for staff records, audits and your wider health and safety file.
This course is suitable for any employer, manager, supervisor or employee who has a role in identifying hazards or controlling risks at work. It is designed for:

Health and safety leads in small and medium-sized businesses
Construction site managers and trades supervisors
Office, retail and hospitality team leaders
Healthcare, education, charity and public-sector employees
Owners and directors carrying responsibility for workplace safety
It's also ideal as part of induction for new managers, as refresher training for experienced staff, and as evidence of a competent approach to assessment under UK health and safety law.
Yes. Risk Assessment Training is RoSPA approved and CPD accredited — two of the most widely recognised UK accreditations for workplace health and safety training. Employers, insurers and inspectors accept it as suitable evidence of training under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
Most learners complete the course in around 90 minutes. You can pause at any time and return when it suits you — your progress is saved automatically.
The employer. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every UK employer must carry out a 'suitable and sufficient' risk assessment of work activities. In practice this is usually delegated to a competent person — a manager, supervisor or H&S lead — and that person needs the right training. This course gives them that.
This course covers the general risk assessment process and explains when a topic-specific assessment is needed (for stress, manual handling, COSHH, DSE or fire). Where you need detailed training on a specific topic, it's worth taking that as a separate course on top — but you should always start with the general process here.
Retakes are completely free of charge. There's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Yes. A RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited certificate is issued instantly on completion of the course and is downloadable from your account.
The certificate doesn't have an expiry date — once you've passed, it's yours. We recommend refreshing your risk assessment training every 3 years, or sooner if the work, the people doing it, or the environment they work in change significantly.
No. This is training that prepares your team to carry out risk assessments. The actual assessments — written down, signed off, reviewed when things change — are produced by your competent person for each specific work activity. This course gives them the framework to do that well.
