Sensible Health & Safety management must consider the risks to our employees, and then ensure that we have put safety controls in place to safeguard them from harm.
If the risk is assessed correctly, we may then see ways in which to improve and make the workplace safer. This is the true value of a proper risk assessment. Once done, our findings should be recorded to provide evidence.
When things go wrong, usually the first thing we are asked for is a risk assessment. These are imperative to comply with Health & Safety regulations.
However, no business was ever started just to comply with regulations and most successful businesses are so busy carrying out their daily tasks that risk assessments may never be completed.
The Simpler Safety Health & Safety Management Programme can do these on your behalf.
These include:
- General Risks (tasks and circumstances)
- Hazardous Substances (CoSHH)
- Fire
- Noise
- Vibration
- Explosive Atmospheres
- Manual Handling
- Legionella
- Asbestos
- Display Screen Equipment
Plus any others which may be specific to your business.
