More about Risk Assessment

health & safety

Demystified

Risk assessment is the foundation of Health and Safety legislation and should be at the nucleus of all health and safety systems. An unmanaged risk can have significant legal, economic, environmental, and human costs to your business. Safewell will help you to identify and manage your risks. Managed risks equal managed costs and legal compliance – this makes good business sense.

General Risk Assessment

 

Identifying risk is what we do best. Our experienced team will pinpoint hazards, evaluate their impact, and recommend practical controls to keep your people safe and your operations compliant.

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Assessment

We help you protect employees from harmful substances by assessing how they’re used, stored, and handled. Our COSHH assessments identify risks, check compliance with regulations, and provide clear, practical steps to reduce exposure and safeguard health.

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Assessment

Workstations and computers can cause discomfort and long-term issues if not set up correctly. We asses your DSE set-up to identify risks and recommend practical adjustments, helping employees work safely, comfortably, and efficiently.

Manual Handling Assessment

Lifting, carrying, and moving items incorrectly can lead to injuries and lost productivity. We review your manual handling activities, identify risks, and provide practical advice to keep your workforce healthy and reduce strain-related incidents.

Fire Risk Assessment

Every premises needs a fire risk assessment by law. We identify potential fire hazards, evaluate evacuation routes, and advise on measures to minimise risk and damage. Ensuring you keep your people safe and your business compliant.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) assessment

The right PPE is essential for protecting employees from workplace hazards. We assess your PPE requirements, check suitability and compliance, and help you implement solutions that keep your team safe and your business aligned with regulations.

Lone and Peripatetic Working Assessment

Working alone or away from the main office brings unique risks. We assess the activities involved, identify hazards, and provide practical measures to keep your employees safe wherever they work.

Workplace Transport Assessment

Vehicles and pedestrian sharing the same space can lead to serious accidents. We assess your site layout, traffic flow, and control measures, then provide practical guidance to reduce collision risks and create a safer, more efficient workplace.

Dangerous Substances & Explosive Atmospheres Risk Assessment

Compliance with DSEAR regulations is essential for any workplace handling flammable or explosive substances. We manage the assessment process – identifying hazards, evaluation risks, and implementing robust controls – to keep your people safe and your business legally compliant.

Working at Height Risk Assessment

Any task with a risk of falling – whether from a roof, ladder, platform, or into an excavation – requires a proper assessment. We identify hazards and provide practical measures to keep your team safe and compliant.

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
