    The document outlines the process followed by a warehouse manager to conduct a risk assessment of the warehouse. The manager identified hazards, recorded existing controls, compared controls to good practice guidance, decided on further actions and responsibilities for implementation.

    The manager read HSE guidance publications, walked around the warehouse noting activities that pose risks, talked to the union safety representative and supervisors to learn about jobs and past problems, and reviewed the accident book.

    For each hazard identified, existing controls were recorded and compared to good practice guidance from HSE publications. Where existing controls did not meet good practice, further actions needed were written down.
