Job responsibilities

I'm six months into a managerial role and have been asked to complete a health and safety risk assessment document that is extremely lengthy and was last updated during 2020, so very covid rigid. However, I have no experience doing this and am concerned that if I do it incorrectly it will come back to bite me if a part of it that I've approved negatively affects any individual using the building it is to be done on. Am I overthinking it and should I just relax it am I right in thinking that it shouldn't be done by an unqualified and inexperienced person?

As it is I would happily hand my notice in as my workload, third sector, is absolutely immense and I feel I am being micro managed to within an inch... I'm barely sleeping due to the stress that I'm under at the moment. If it wasn't for having financial responsibilities I would walk as soon as I could.

Hello OP,

Sorry to hear you don't enjoy your job, i'm similar right now and i've just had the pressure ramped up another few notches today, much like my heating bill. It's all very exhausting.

I would suggest you mention this to whoever tasked you with this job. Just say you would like a second opinion/counter signature to make sure everything is set up and nothing has been missed. They can't really argue with that.

THEN, keep the email where you suggested this. If they refuse and anything does go wrong (it won't, i'm sure) you can use it to back yourself up, if you see what i mean.
