We Put Death Down Far Too Easily
Colin is back for an all-new series of shows, just in time to guide you through the ever-evolving world of health and safety in the workplace.
In this edition he addresses the critical topic of risk assessment, emphasising the often-overlooked implications of categorising risks, particularly those associated with death. He highlights the common practice of using a risk matrix to evaluate likelihood and severity, urging listeners to reflect on the true meaning of a "number five" rating—death

"The minute we put down a five on a risk assessment, the minute we put death on a risk assessment, we've got a duty to really make sure that the control measures... are gonna be effective."
"What sort of impact would it have on the family? What sort of impact does it have on your employees, on the colleagues?"
"We've still got death written on our risk assessment... and I just want you to think about that."
