Risk assessment serves as a foundational element in safety management by systematically identifying, evaluating, and mitigating potential risks that could harm employees, operations, or the environment. This process facilitates informed decision-making and prioritization of safety strategies. By thoroughly understanding the risks present in a workplace, safety professionals can implement appropriate measures to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries, thereby enhancing overall safety and health outcomes.

Through effective risk assessment, organizations are better positioned to allocate resources efficiently and develop targeted interventions that address the most pressing hazards. This proactive approach not only protects employees but also supports a culture of safety, increases productivity, and can lead to improved regulatory compliance and reduced costs related to incidents.

In contrast, while employee salaries, financial regulations, and organizational culture are important aspects of overall management, they do not capture the core purpose of risk assessment within the safety management framework. Risk assessment is primarily focused on hazard recognition and risk control, allowing for a safer work environment.
