Workplace risk assessment can be defined as a systematic procedure for analysing workplace components to identify and evaluate hazards and safety characteristics (Harms-Ringdahl 2001). Due to EU regulation (Council Directive 89/391/EEC) each member state of the European Union has to establish national legislation to demand risk assessment procedures in enterprises of all sizes.
