"Risk assessment has 2 main benefits: first, it enables the workers to assess the critical situations related to their professional activities and second, it contributes to develop a safety culture within a company and therefore prudent attitudes. This is even more important when the companies are very innovative and deal with new or emerging risks."
Aleksandar Jovanovic, CEO
