Health and Safety Assessment

Who needs a Health and Safety Risk Assessment?

Fire Risk Assessments and Health and Safety Assessments are two sides of the same coin. Every company has a statutory duty to carry out an assessment of the risks in the workplace. If you employ five or more people, that assessment must be in written form. As with the fire risk assessment, the health and Safety Risk Assessment must be carried out by a competent person (see 'Competency').

We offer Health and Safety Assessments on the same terms and to the same impeccable standards as our Fire Risk Assessments.

Our assessors are all NEBOSH trained with a wealth of experience. Our assessments are derived from the following legislation:

Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999                                                                                          The Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1999
