Health and Safety Risk Assessment - We do the work for you!

The requirement for risk assessment in health & safety regulations cascades down into the workplace in many regulations, examples are:

• General risk assessment of activities & premises
  The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
• Risk assessment for workstations
  The Display Screen Equipment Regulations 1992 for VDU /DSE Risk assessments
• Risk assessment for lifting & carrying
  The Manual Handling Regulations 1992
• Risk assessment for hazardous substances
  The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 1999
• Risk assessment for machinery & work equipment
  The PUWER Regulations
• Risk assessment for lifting equipment
  The LOLER & PUWER Regulations
• Risk assessment for Fire Safety
  The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations

Health and Safety Risk Assessment is a Legal requirement placed on all employers and the self employed. Section 3 of the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 places a general duty on employers and the self employed to ensure that their activities do not endanger anybody.

The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 clarify how employers must comply with their overall duties under the HASAW Act. The central requirement of the Management Regulations is to require employers to carry out & record formal risk assessments. The assessments should address what happens in the workplace and must take account of employees and any other persons who may be affected by working activities.

Under the Regulations risk assessments must be suitable & sufficient ie: they should:-

• correctly & accurately identify hazards;
• determine the likelihood of injury or harm arising;
• identify and take account of specific legal duties relating to the hazards;
• remain valid for a period of time, and enable decisions to be made concerning appropriate control measures to control the identified risks.

If you do not have time or expertise on hand to carry out risk assessments yourself

Why not let us do them for you?
