Risk assessments that are carried out on the business can help to highlight any areas of work that could be potentially dangerous and then allows a company to put mitigating factors into place to help reduce these risks. Having first aid trained staff available on site can also help to reduce the instances of serious injury and death as a result of a lack of medical treatment available in an emergency.
