What is a Risk Assessment?

The legislator grants persons in charge with a wide leeway regarding the implementation of the Safety and Health at Work Act. How the risk assessment must be performed is not defined in detail in the law, only basic principles are specified. This means that there is no "right" way for performing a risk assessment. Depending on the local circumstances, different approaches are possible.
