Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use our own risk assessment templates?
Yes. When delivered in-house, examples and practical exercises use your own templates and procedures. This makes the training immediately usable in the workplace, rather than asking delegates to translate from a generic format.
Does it cover accident investigation and RIDDOR?
Yes. The course covers accident causation, the accident investigation process, the interview process, and reporting under RIDDOR 2013. Delegates leave able to decide whether an incident is reportable and how to capture the evidence an investigation needs.
How is the course assessed?
A multiple choice examination paper at the end of the course. Successful delegates receive an Opus certificate of attendance. The paper is marked on the day so delegates know their result before leaving.
How long is the course?
One day, delivered at your premises with up to twelve delegates per session. Opus can split the day into two shorter sessions where operational shift patterns make a full day difficult.
How much does the course cost?
Pricing is bespoke based on your group size and location. Contact us for a tailored quote that covers delivery, materials and certification in a single figure.
How often should risk assessment training be refreshed?
Refresher recommended every two to three years or after significant change of role, equipment, or site. Sooner if the business changes its activities, introduces new equipment or experiences a significant incident.
Who should attend risk assessment training?
Managers, supervisors, safety reps and anyone with responsibility for identifying hazards, completing risk assessments or investigating incidents. The course also suits appointed competent persons who need to evidence their own training when an assessment is challenged by an enforcing authority.
