Risk Assessments
Every company is under a statutory duty to carry out an assessment of risks present
in its workplace. If your company employs five people or more, the risk assessment must
be in writing. Legislation requires that the assessment be carried out by a
"competent person" and examine the entire company’s activities to identify any hazards
involved, the likelihood of those hazards causing harm and the steps required to
eliminate or minimise the risks.
The risk assessment should be reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant
changes in the workplace. We can arrange for a qualified safety practitioner to visit
your premises and carry out a risk assessment study on your behalf.
