Risk assessment is the first and foremost among such obligations. Failure to perform a risk assessment may legally result in stoppage of work at the workplace and a shut-down. In this study, it was aimed to present the details regarding risk assessment by searching through the Law of Occupational Health and Safety and particularly Risk Assessment Regulation and the relevant publications, and attempted to make clear, with the help of sample tables, how to perform a risk assessment.
