Risk Assessments

Managing risks in the workplace

As part of managing the health and safety of your business you must control the risks in your workplace. To do this you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm. This is known as risk assessment and it is something you are required by law to have. The types of specialist risk assessments that we complete include Fire, Noise, Manual Handling, Working at Height and Workstation.

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork, but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your workplace. You are probably already taking steps to protect your employees, but a risk assessment will help you decide whether you have covered all you need to.

The completed assessment can help you identify the priority order in which you need to look at certain risks and the recommended control measures in more detail. These control measures are designed to allow you to reduce the levels of risk to a reasonably practicable level.

What is a risk assessment?

By working with you, we identify the hazards, we decide who might be harmed and how, we evaluate the risks and decide on controls that are required, we record the significant findings and then we review the assessment periodically or sooner if there are significant changes.
