As an employer, you’re required by law to protect your employees, and others, from harm.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the minimum you must do is:
Identify what could cause injury or illness in your business (hazards)
Decide how likely it is that someone could be harmed and how seriously (the risk)
Take action to eliminate the hazard, or if this isn’t possible, control the risk
The 3 requirements above are better known collectively as a RISK ASSESSMENT
You are not alone if the thought of carrying out Risk Assessments is a daunting prospect, especially for high risk activities such as Work at Height or Operating Mechanical Equipment
It does not need to be daunting, and you are not alone with SafeWise providing specific solutions - not generic do it yourself kits
