Health and Safety Risk Assessments
What Are They?
Risk assessments are a critical part of workplace health and safety, required under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
A risk assessment is the process of identifying existing or potential hazards in the workplace and evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm they may cause. This helps determine appropriate control measures to reduce or eliminate risks.
Risk assessments should consider all areas of the working environment and all individuals who may be affected—including employees, visitors, and contractors.
Why Do You Need Them?
Every employer must carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments for the work their employees do. If your business employs five or more people, you are also required to record the findings, especially noting any vulnerable groups such as:
- Young workers
- Older workers
- Pregnant employees
- Employees with disabilities
You are legally responsible for assessing and managing the risks that employees and non-employees may be exposed to while on your premises or carrying out your work.
