Waste of effort as it simply regurgitates the text from HSE advice and doesn’t add any value. Also shows charts for quantitative RA, which is not a simple method and confuses the issues when trying to get employees to conduct assessments.
A flipchart and basic drawings could have a better impact or use photos within a PPt presentation (in classroom or on a tablet in the workplace) and prompt people with the basic questions of what is it (hazards), how can it cause loss (risks) and what should we do to prevent loss (controls).

Hi Phil,

I’m afraid you can’t currently download videos from the SHP site, but I hope that you continue to watch them on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SHPOnline

All the best,

Roz

Wow…. Hope they didn’t pay for that.
