    Important reminder
    This example risk assessment shows the kind of approach a small business might take. Use it as a guide to think through some of the hazards in your business and
    the steps you need to take to control the risks. Please note that it is not a generic risk assessment that you can just put your company name on and adopt wholesale
    without any thought. This would not satisfy the law - and would not be effective in protecting people.
    Every business is different - you need to think through the hazards and controls required in your business for yourself.
