In the UK and Europe there are many pieces of legislation which set out the requirement to carry out risk assessments. What is the legal position in the US regarding the requirement to carry out risk assessments?
The OP chose the occupational H&S Management Standards forum to place the question, so, I suspect s/he is aiming at regulatory requirements in the USA related to OH&S that would have a risk-based intent.Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Reference the discussion
The Elsmar Cove Forum > National and International Business Standards and Requirements > Various Other Specifications, Standards, and related Requirements > Should I be concerned about Sarbanes-Oxley requirements affecting my ISO9001:2000 QMS
Within this discussion it speaks of Risk assessment.
