Office Risk Assessment
Doing an office risk assessment is an important part of the legal requirement to carry out a risk assessment of your workplace. If your business employs five employees or more then the findings of the risk assessment must be recorded.
The Office Risk Assessment covers areas of Health, Safety and Welfare such as ventilation, lighting, workstation and seating, maintenance, drinking water and rest facilities. It is useful to know that slips and trips are the single biggest cause of injury at work at any time; a properly implemented risk assessment and action plan can help you avoid them.
