Risk Assessment – Step by Step

Conducting a risk assessment for companies with company car drivers is an important part of systematic work environment management.

Here is a step-by-step guide for how a company can proceed:

Step 1: Examination of the Work Environment

First and foremost, the company needs to examine the work environment to identify potential risks. This may include:

• Interviews and surveys with company car drivers to gain their perspective on risks.
• Inspections of vehicles and parking areas to identify physical hazards.
• Review of accident statistics and incident reports to identify common problem areas.

Step 2: Risk Assessment

Once the risks have been identified, the next step is to assess how serious these risks are. This involves:

• Weighing the likelihood of a risk occurring and the consequences if it does.
• Prioritizing the risks based on their severity and probability.

Step 3: Create an Action Plan

After assessing the risks, the company needs to create an action plan to address them. The action plan should include:

• Specific measures to reduce or eliminate identified risks.
• Timelines for when the measures should be implemented.
• Responsible persons for each action.

Step 4: Address the Risks

Implement the measures identified in the action plan.
This may include:

• Training company car drivers to increase risk awareness.
• Training in driving safety.
• Training in precision maneuvering of vehicles to reduce the risk of parking damage.
• Maintenance and regular inspections of vehicles.

Step 5: Evaluation of Implemented Measures

Finally, evaluate the measures that have been implemented to ensure they have had the desired effect. This may include:

• Follow-up with company car drivers to get their feedback.
• Review of accident statistics and incident reports to see if the number of accidents has decreased.
• Adjustment of the action plan based on the evaluation.

By following these steps, companies with company car drivers can effectively assess risks in their operations and create a safer work environment.
