Risk assessments are a legal requirement for all UK businesses. This legal requirement is outlined in the The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and is the main piece of workplace health and safety legislation in the UK. It makes it the legal responsibility of employers and self-employed people to ensure that their workplaces are safe, which will likely include completing some form of risk assessment.
So what can we do for you? First and foremost we will Assess with a clear plan:
Plan – Your overall strategy;
Identify – The health hazards linked to your work;
Assess – The significance of these hazards;
Involve – Workers in managing health risks.
Next, we will Control by acting on our assessment:
Prevent – Risks before work starts
Control – Remaining risk
Train – Advise on best training for Workers.
We will provide a detailed Risk Assessment that identifies the risks and hazards associated with your project's scope of works. But most importantly, we will ensure adequate control measures are in place, so as to ensure the level of risk is 'as low as is reasonably practicable'
