12—Assessment of risk in relation to a class of hazards, tasks,
circumstances or things
If these regulations require an assessment of risks to health and safety
associated with a hazard, task, thing or circumstance, an assessment of risks
associated with a class of hazards, tasks, things or circumstances may be
conducted if—
(a) all
hazards, tasks, things or circumstances in the class are the same; and
(b) the
assessment of risks for the class does not result in any worker or other
person being exposed to a greater, additional or different risk to health and
safety than if the risk assessment were carried out in relation to each
individual hazard, task, thing or circumstance.
