Risk Assessment
Employers must assess the risks in your workplace and put sensible health and safety measures in place to control them.
For help and advice, go to Five Steps to Risk Assessment and example risk assessments for different business types on the HSE website, or use the IOSH Risk Assessment Routefinder online tool.
You can also find more information in our Small Business Help section - Getting Started on Health and Safety.
