Every company is legally required to carry out an assessment of risks present in its workplace. If your company employs five people or more, the risk assessment must be in writing. Legislation requires that the assessment be carried out by a "competent person" and examine the entire company’s activities to identify any hazards involved, the likelihood of those hazards causing harm and the steps required to eliminate or minimise the risks.

The risk assessment should be reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes in the workplace. We can arrange for a trained risk assessor to visit your premises and carry out a risk assessment study on your behalf.
