Document background
The Staff Risk Assessment document is a crucial operational and compliance tool required under Hong Kong's workplace safety legislation, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Cap. 509) and its subsidiary regulations. It is designed to be implemented when organizations need to evaluate and document workplace hazards, assess potential risks to employees, and establish appropriate control measures. The document typically includes detailed evaluations of physical, psychological, and environmental risks, along with specific mitigation strategies and emergency response procedures. It should be regularly updated to reflect changes in workplace conditions, new hazards, or regulatory requirements, and serves as evidence of the organization's commitment to maintaining a safe workplace environment in accordance with Hong Kong law.
