Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Regulations borne out of this legislation require ALL employers to carry out meaningful risk assessments of both the workplace
and certain work-based activities. For example:
- Manual Handling.
- Display Screen Equipment.
- Provision and Use of Work Equipment.
- Asbestos.
- Fire.
- Hazardous Substances.
- And many more...
The aim being to identify significant hazards, to implement any necessary control measures and (where 5 or more are
employed), to record the findings.
The risk assessments are the foundation stone of every good health and safety system; the assessment must be thorough,
detailed and accurate for it to have any value whatsoever.
At Lawes Marsh Limited, our Consultants have a high degree of expertise and experience in both carrying out risk assessments
and reviewing/auditing existing arrangements. We also have extensive experience in the enforcement of Workplace
Regulations, so we know what inspectors will look for and expect to find.
