Covid-19 has changed the way businesses operate. From a health and safety perspective, every business is now looking at a totally new risk profile where staff are potentially at risk coming to work..
Never has it been more important to have clear, considered risk assessments that are specific to your business and it’s activities to ensure both you and your staff can work safely.
Every business in the UK will have to make necessary adjustments to ensure their staff are not put in danger by coming into work. There is both a moral and legal obligation placed on all employers to make these adjustments.
The Health and safety legalities behind COVID-19
Having a COVID-19 secure risk assessment is mandatory for every business, regardless if you are a company, business or sole trader. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) 1999, that all employers and self-employed people carry out a risk assessment to determine any risks to the health and safety of employees and other persons that could be harmed by their work activities.
It is the employers job to understand the environment and activities of the workplace and assess which risks are significant enough to require action to prevent or minimise them. The MHSWR outline that employers must:
Assess risk to themselves, their employees, and any other people who come into contact with the workplace or work processes
Organisations with five or more employees must identify people who are considered especially at risk and keep a record of all risk assessment findings
All risk assessments must be regularly reviewed to address any changes that occur over time
Employers are required to seek competent advice when creating risk assessments. The Health and Safety Dept is ideally positioned to provide this competent advice and to give you peace of mind that your COVID-19 secure risk assessment will keep you, your business and people safe.
