I absolutely hate risk assessments for the very reason that they encourage people to look for hazards that are insignificant compared to the benefits whilst simultaneously disregarding those benefits!
to be fair, you aren’t doing them right then.
A Risk assessment should be suitable and sufficient for the hazard in involved, insignificant risks should be no more than a one liner within the risk management documentation.
Having seen people with serious long term occupational Ill health to the point of disability and attended and had to undertake accident investigation for industrial fatalities where risk assessment was ignored or not properly communicated it has it’s place.
But the complexity of the assessment has to be proportionate to the risks otherwise it can be seen as a massively awkward and hindering paperwork exercise rather than the useful tool it really is (when applied properly)
