Very accurate
And as one who gets involved with these, alas, I find that if you get three different "Risk Assessors" to look at a situation/organisation you end up with three quite different analyses of where any risks might lie. Despite this, most of their resulting material seems to be a cut/paste job from previous projects they have done.
An increasing number of Risk Assessors who look at aspects of industrial buildings etc now seem to come with some sort of tie-up with a contractor who, by the most amazing coincidence, is in a position to carry out the works specified.
