RISK ASSESS - STAGE 1

“Insurers will expect businesses to be and continue to remain compliant with existing legal obligations, specifically the duty imposed on all employers by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and others affected by their operations. In order to demonstrate this duty of care has been fulfilled, employers must be able to evidence that the actions taken to control the risks to health, safety and welfare are reasonably practicable, in other words the balance between the benefits of risk reduction on the one hand, outweigh the time, effort and cost of the control measures on the other.”

Your Covid-19 risk assessment should clearly show that, on the balance of all considerations, the controls implemented reduce the risk as low as reasonably practical. This evidence, in the form of a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, is crucial in the defence of an insurance claim for personal injury or illness or intervention by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or other regulatory authority.

It is acknowledged that not all businesses have the in-house competency, capability or expertise to utilise the supplied areas requiring improvement and further assistance may be required. An additional service is available whereby, our health and safety consultant will advise, with specific detail, the areas requiring further consideration and offer suggestions to assist you with the document’s further development.
