Risk Assessment: Assessing the Risk of Hazards in the Workplace

health & safety

Demystified

A risk assessment is a logical approach to deciding what hazards in the workplace could lead to injury or ill-health through normal and foreseeable work practices. This could be to employees or non-employees, both at their workplace or when they are out and about carrying out work activities such as deliveries.

Risk Assessment is a Legal Requirement

Essential to keeping your employees safe and well is the assessment and management of risk in the workplace. Risk assessment is a legal requirement and forms the cornerstone for all your occupational health and safety.

Safewell’s approach to this is practical, enabling and effective. Think of us as an umbrella capturing the risks and workplace hazards to which your business may be vulnerable and working with you to protect, educate and equip your business in the future.

We do this by:

Working closely with you to complete a full Risk assessment

Providing you with clearly written documentation relating to identified risks and managing potential hazards

Delivering pragmatic recommendations for employee training to help create and maintain a safe working environment

At Safewell, we believe that by engaging in risk assessments right from the start, your occupational health and safety provision will:

Remain relevant

Add value and purpose

Be compliant

At Safewell we can complete individual risk assessments for you or if you haven’t started with any risk assessments yet we’d recommend our Umbrella Risk Assessment to identify all the significant hazards at your workplace. Start as you mean to go on!

Umbrella Risk Assessment

Safewell’s Umbrella Risk Assessment is like an audit. But with a difference – it’s risk-based, so the recommendations are prioritised based on the risks at your place of work and it is documented as a risk assessment, which is the first priority for any business under health and safety law.

John Williams Heating Services Ltd

We have worked with Safewell for many years and are retained clients, so we have developed an excellent working relationship with the team. However, this really came into its own when Covid 19 appeared.

As a Plumbing and Heating business, we were able to carry on working during the lockdown but only for responding to emergencies. We were obviously very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and before we even had chance to get in touch with Safewell, they had emailed us offering their assistance. It is hard to put down on paper how that made us feel - we like everyone else felt totally at sea, which way to turn, what to do? But Safewell were there guiding, supporting and being totally brilliant. Their attention to detail is very impressive and reassuring and we feel able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly.

During the pandemic Safewell helped us to write risk assessments, safety procedures and protocols. They kept in touch regularly, issuing new guidance as soon as it appeared and checking in with us. They held group Q&A sessions over Zoom which were helpful, and knowing other businesses were facing the same challenges and having the opportunity to discuss issues was invaluable. Their help during the preparation for a full return to work was brilliant, they enabled us to be fully prepared and feel in control, and when we had our first case of Covid within the team, because we had planned our response it felt ok.

I think our team felt very reassured by our robust approach and that our office was Covid secure.
We are extremely grateful to all the team at Safewell
