Task risk assessment
The Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations require
employers to make an assessment of the risks that their employees, and others,
are exposed to at work. When there are over 5 employees the risk assessment must
be recorded. Each risk assessment will give an opinion on the level of risk and
make recommendations for reducing risks further.
Hazardous substance risk assessment
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations
require employers to assess the risks to health to employees from the use
of chemicals and substances.
Display screen equipment risk assessment
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations require
employers to assess the risks to health to employees using computer screens and
