It’s recently been announced the European Campaign for Safety and Health at Work will this time be a 2 year campaign focussing on the importance of risk assessments. Risk assessments are often vital in reducing the number of workplace injuries and fatalities. In fact with the number of deaths in 06/07 being 241 it is time to take a stand.

With risk assessment coming to the forefront of people’s minds, I’m delighted to tell you about Safety Media’s new DVD release.

We took a new approach with our recent DVD Watch Your Back, making interactivity part of the viewing experience. This has proven to be a popular choice with many trainers looking for a new way of interacting with their trainees during a training session.

With this in mind, our new DVD 5 Steps – Risk Assessment in your Workplace has moved interactivity to a new level.

This DVD poses several questions throughout the 17 minute running time to allow the viewer to become involved with the content. The questions are based on the content just viewed and test your trainees understanding.

The main aim of the DVD is to raise awareness within your organisation that everyone is responsible for their own risk assessment. The DVD places an emphasis on how risk assessments can easily become second nature during a working day.

The benefits of using the 5 steps – Risk Assessment in your Workplace DVD are:

· It can be used by employees at all levels

· It is user-friendly, fun to use, and engages with the viewer

· Its unique interactive approach encourages understanding and retention of information

· It encourages discussion during training

· Training your staff using the DVD lessens the risk of prosecution for failure to carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments under health and safety law.
