Risk assessments are processes of identifying risks that exist or may appear. Risk assessments define and assess hazards that are likely to cause harm to service users and/or staff. This allows services to comply with CQC regulation 12: Safe Care and treatment. This regulation states “Providers must assess the risks to people’s health and safety during any care or treatment ”, “Providers must make sure that the premises and any equipment used is safe”  and “CQC understands that there may be inherent risks in carrying out care and treatment, and we will not consider it to be unsafe if providers can demonstrate that they have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of people using their services and to manage risks that may arise during care and treatment.”

These risk assessments are for risk associated with allergies and contain one for patients and one for staff/visitors. Allergies can pose significant dangers, ranging from mild discomfort and inconvenience to severe and life-threatening reactions. By conducting a thorough risk assessment for allergies and implementing appropriate preventive measures, organizations and individuals can effectively manage the risk of allergic reactions and create safer environments for everyone.
