Risk Management

What is Risk?

Risk exists in all aspects of life - and affects all of us.

A risk is when a person is likely to be harmed by a hazard. Moving and handling children and young people may cause harm to them or their workers. However, the chances of it happening and how serious it might be depends on a number of things including:

  • The moving and handling tasks
  • The place
  • The equipment
  • The needs of the child or young person
  • The abilities and skills of the workers involved.
