Risk Assessment

There is no specific method for producing risk assessments and we can either use our risk templates or work with your own preferred risk assessment format. Whichever style you choose you can be assured that you will be supplied with comprehensive and professional documents that will be an asset to your event, production or company.

• Identify the hazards to health and safety
• Identify who may be harmed and how
• Evaluate the risk
• Make recommendations on any further control measures
• Record the assessment clearly and concisely
• Provide any further guidance on the risks and control measures

Risk assessments are a legal duty for all businesses, including the self-employed.  If there are five or more employees within the organisation the significant findings of a risk assessments must be recorded. A competent person must carry out the risk assessment, but not every business has someone with the knowledge, training, ability and time to address this process comprehensively. Guy will write or review your risk assessments and safety policy and help you to implement them.

New research commissioned by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has found organisations adopting a proactive approach to health and safety management tend to be more profitable and have lower accident rates.

A legal prosecution has only to prove there has been an exposure to risk, and then it is for the employer under section 40 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, to prove they took all reasonably practicable steps to avoid the exposure.
