Every employer with more than 5 employees is under a statutory duty to arrange to assess all risks arising at the workplace, or created by work activities. Some risks are of a general nature, but others will need to be considered against more specialised legislation. These employers are also required to nominate a "competent person" - who will hold high level, formal, Health and Safety qualifications. Abacus HS provides the Competent Person for all clients where we are the outsourced Health and Safety provider.

Where assessments are needed:

For General risks

Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations

Where exposure to substances may cause damage to health

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations

At workstations where VDUs are used

Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations

The fire risk assessment should consider the means of raising the alarm, arrangements for safe evacuation, fire safety equipment and signage.
