The Baseline Risk Assessment is a fundamental document required under Nigerian health and safety regulations to systematically identify and evaluate workplace hazards and risks. This assessment serves as the foundation for an organization's risk management system and is typically conducted when establishing new operations, implementing significant changes, or as part of regular safety reviews. The document is structured to comply with Nigerian legislation, including the Labour Act Cap L1 LFN 2004 and the Factories Act Cap F1 LFN 2004, while incorporating international best practices in risk assessment methodology. It includes comprehensive evaluation of physical, chemical, biological, and psychological hazards, assessment of existing control measures, and recommendations for risk mitigation. The assessment is particularly crucial in high-risk industries and is often required for regulatory compliance, insurance purposes, and demonstrating due diligence in safety management.
