12 Assessment of risk in relation to class of hazards, tasks, circumstances or things

If this regulation requires 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 a 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.
