    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to review the risk assessment after further falls

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) There did not appear to have been a review of the risk assessment after further fall incidents. Is there a system in place which requires a further review of the Personal Risk Assessment? If so, who has responsibility to undertake such a review? If such system does exist has it been effectively communicated to all staff members, including management? ”
