1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,920
You are an employer and want to protect your 
employees from risks at work.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,000
This is why you are obliged to draw up a 
Risk Assessment and Evaluation.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,120
This is called RI&E.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,800
The RI&E is the basis for your health
and safety policy.

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,520
With an RI&E, you create an overview of the
occupational risks for your employees.

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,720
For instance, risks such as working with
hazardous substances.

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,600
Or loud noise and vibrations.

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,800
But also less visible risks.

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Such as sitting down for long periods...

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,600
...looking at a screen for a long time...

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,440
...or a heavy workload.

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,680
You identify the risks.

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,000
But you also want to prevent them.

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,240
That's why you use your RI&E to make
a plan of action.

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,960
This plan contains the measures you will take to
reduce and resolve the risks.

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Make sure you update your RI&E if anything in your 
company changes. 

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,360
For example, if your company starts offering
new services.

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Or if there is a new business premises.

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920
An RI&E also protects you as an employer.

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,680
By looking at all the risks in your business...

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,960
...you are less likely to overlook any risks.

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,480
If something happens in the workplace
and you are held liable…

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,000
...you can show what you have done
to reduce the risks.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,160
You could avoid fines of up to €4.500
by having an RI&E.

00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,560
