Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as complying with the law.
The law does not expect you to eliminate all risk, but you are required to protect people as far as ‘reasonably practicable’.
Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court.
Fire Risk Assessment
On the 1st of October 2006 new fire safety rules affecting all non-domestic premises in England and Wales came into force. If you are:
• responsible for business premises
• an employer with business premises
• Self employed with business premises
• a contractor with business premises
• a voluntary organisation or charity
then you need ensure you have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment in place.
