This is done by evaluating the current safety measures and identifying areas where risks or hazards may exist.

By conducting these assessments, organizations can determine whether their safety objectives are being met and where improvements may be needed. Compliance with Regulations: Safety assessments ensure that the organization is in compliance with safety regulations and standards. This is important to avoid legal issues and penalties, and to ensure the safety of all stakeholders.
