Health & Safety Assessments
As an employer, you are 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.
Assessing risk is just one part of the overall process used to control risks in your workplace.
A lack of consideration for Health & Safety can increase absenteeism and negligence claims,
affecting workplace productivity and morale. It also leads to injuries, long-term illnesses,
and possibly death – consequently showing how important safety is in the workplace.
If you’re not confident that you have the sufficient training, experience or knowledge to
take on a risk assessment yourself, Circle Property Assessments can do this for you at your
