Risk assessments often look good on paper , but do they really reflect what happens on the shop floor?
How do you make sure your risk assessments match day- to- day operations and not just written procedures? What checks do you use to confirm that controls are actually followed in practice, and how do you keep risk assessments up to date when processes, people, or equipment change?

This is where the site tour really matters.

Risk assessments can look fine on paper, but they need to match what’s actually happening on the shop floor. The desktop review should flag key points, and the site tour is where you challenge those in practice.

That might be checking a few controls, talking to operators, or even walking the factory with the risk assessment in hand.
