Risk Assessment
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires employers to carry out 'Suitable and sufficient' risk assessments in respect of all workplace tasks and hazards which could cause injury. If more than 5 staff are employed, the assessment must be in writing. The assessor must be 'Competent', i.e. he or she must have appropriate knowledge, understanding and training. The assessment is a live document and as such must be reviewed periodically or when anything changes.
Other legal requirements specify the type of generic risk assessment that must be undertaken such as fire safety (a key 'Hot Spot' of recent legislation) Control of Noise at Work and COSHH (The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health).
A common problem with the assessment process is that documentation and records, electronic or otherwise, can be complicated and bureaucratic, resulting in vital processes (such as communicating the findings) becoming impeded.
Risk assessments carried out by Britrisk specialists are all submitted using a common approach. All documentation looks similar and clients are presented with a list of required actions that is easy to understand and manage.
Our specialists are commercially pragmatic and focus on recommendations that are cost effective. We will also share the burden of implementing the resulting action points which are designed to improve controls of workplace safety and to contribute positively to business operations.
Contact Britrisk for further guidance and support.
