    Risk assessment

    All employers must conduct a risk assessment. Employers with five or more employees have to record the significant findings of their risk
    assessment.

    We have started off the risk assessment for you by including a sample entry for a common hazard to illustrate what is expected (the sample entry is taken from an office-based business).
    Look at how this might apply to your business, continue by identifying the hazards that are the real priorities in your case and complete the table to suit.
    You can print and save this template so you can easily review and update the information as and when required. You may find our example risk assessments a useful guide
    (www.hse.gov.uk/risk/casestudies). Simply choose the example closest to your business.

    spillages leads or cables. Staff keep work areas clear, eg no monitor
    boxes left in walkways, deliveries stored
    immediately, offices cleaned each evening

    Employers with five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy and risk assessment.
    It is important you discuss your assessment and proposed actions with staff or their representatives.
    You should review your risk assessment if you think it might no longer be valid, eg following an accident in the workplace, or if there are any significant changes to the hazards in
    your workplace, such as new equipment or work activities.
