Risk evaluation is the part of the process where you look at the risks you have found and decide how serious they are. It helps you work out which risks to tackle first. TCC makes this easier by giving clear, practical advice on what actions are needed.
The main goal is to prevent accidents and harm by spotting dangers early and managing them properly. We aim to help you create a safer workplace while making sure you stay compliant with the law.
