Prolyte Campus blog: Risk Assessment

Prolyte: In this blog I’ll touch on Risk Assessment. It’s nice pointing out the hazardous situations we see, and the small and larger accidents that unfortunately happen. But how can we prevent these to happen? Risk Assessment plays a major part in the prevention of incidents. It may not be the sexiest topic, but, in my opinion, of paramount importance.

Almost all Laws and Regulations require the manufacturer to do a risk assessment when designing and/or selling a (new) product. Any foreseeable hazard should be ‘designed away’ or reduced to acceptable levels of probability and consequences.
