Workplace Risk Assessment
A workplace risk assessment is one of the most practical tools a business can have. As well as being a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it helps identify potential hazards, evaluate the level of risk, and implement measures in place to prevent harm. A workplace risk assessment isn't just a legal formality—it's a smart, proactive way to protect people, save money, and run a more effective business.
Health and Safety Audits
Health and Safety Audits are vital for a business because they systematically check whether workplace procedures, policies, and environments are safe, legal, and effective. Without regular audits, risks and failures with legal compliance can go unnoticed until they cause harm or financial loss. Audits are more detailed than routine inspections and often compare the business against legal standards and best practice, such as duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
Workplace Health and Safety Inspections
Health and safety inspections are regular, planned checks of a workplace to identify hazards, unsafe practices, and areas that do not meet safety standards. They form part of an employer's duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to provide a safe working environment. Unlike audits (which are more formal and system-focused), inspections are usually more frequent and focus on what is happening day-to-day. They are vital as they help prevent accidents, ensure legal compliance, reduce costs, and maintain a safe and efficient working environment.
Tailored Health and Safety Policies
A health and safety policy is a formal document that sets out an organisation's commitment to protecting employees and others from harm. It defines the company's safety objectives, allocates responsibilities at every level, and outlines the specific procedures and systems used to manage risks. By providing clear direction and accountability, it forms the foundation of effective safety management and demonstrates compliance with legal requirements.
Safe Systems of Work (SSOW)/Standard Operating Procedures
Safe Systems of Work (SSOW) and Standard Operating Procedures are crucial for any business as they define the safest and most efficient way to carry out tasks. They go beyond just identifying risks—they ensure work is consistently done in an efficient, controlled and safe manner. Increasing productivity, reducing errors, preventing accidents and incidents and ultimately reducing costs. They are a formal, documented procedure implemented to ensure work is done safely.
Accident/Incident Investigation and Support
It's not enough to just record accidents or near misses—if they aren't properly investigated, the same problems will reoccur. Having a competent person (someone with the right training, knowledge, and experience) carry out the investigation is essential. It is vital that workplace accidents, incidents, and near misses are investigated by a competent person because they can accurately identify root causes, recommend effective solutions, ensure legal compliance, and help prevent future harm.
Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Assessment
In the UK, a DSE assessment is required under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. A Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessment is a check of an employee's working environment, workstation and working habits to make sure they can use their work equipment safely and comfortably. A DSE assessment is essential because it ensures employees can safely use screen equipment without harming their health.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Assessment
A COSHH assessment is a structured process used by a business to identify, evaluate, and control the risks from hazardous substances in the workplace. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers must assess how substances can harm people and put measures in place to prevent or reduce exposure. A COSHH assessment assesses the risks from hazardous substances and looks at controlling them before they cause harm.
Pregnancy Risk Assessment
A pregnancy risk assessment is a workplace assessment carried out when an employee is pregnant, has recently given birth, or is breastfeeding. It looks at the employee's role and working environment to identify any risks to them or their baby, and puts measures in place to remove or reduce those risks. In the UK, this is required under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
