At SafetyRAC, we offer a comprehensive risk assessment service to help your business achieve legal compliance:
A generic health and safety risk assessment is a broad assessment that covers common hazards and controls that are associated with routine work activities. They provide a starting point but may need adjustments for specific conditions. They are typically acceptable for lower risk environments but may not be suitable for industries which generate higher risk hazards. SafetyRAC can help businesses by create compliant generic risk assessments which reflect conditions of their work environment.
An activity-based risk assessment focuses on assessing risks associated with specific tasks or activities that employees will perform. These assessments are tailored to activities like operating machinery, working at height or handling hazardous chemicals. They are crucial in higher risk environments such as construction sites. SafetyRAC will work work with you to identify hazards for each specific activity within your operations. We not only assess these risks but also provide practical steps for managing them safely, ensuring employees are equipped with the knowledge and tools to perform their role safely.
A job role risk assessment evaluates the hazards associated to a specific job or position rather than focusing on general tasks. This is critical for jobs that involve a wide or complex range of duties which may pose a specific risk. SafetyRAC can assist breaking down job roles and identifying all associated hazards. Our risk assessments highlight the training and control measures required for employees in specific roles. We can ensure that each role has a comprehensive assessment proportionate to the responsibilities of the role.
A method statement sequentially outlines how a particular task or process will be carried out safely. It describes the control measures, safety equipment, and steps to minimise the hazards turning into an accident. Method statements are commonly used in construction, demolition and other higher risk industries where a clear, documented approach is crucial. SafetyRAC can create detailed method statements that comply with legal requirements and industry best practices. SafetyRAC works with businesses to ensure processes are clearly defined and that all risks are controlled with the appropriate safety intervention.
A Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan (CPP) is a legal requirement for all construction projects in the UK, as outlined by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. It details how health and safety will be managed during the construction phase of a project. The plan must cover risks to workers and anyone affected by the work, including members of the public. SafetyRAC offers expertise in preparing and managing Construction Phase Plans, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements. We also offer ongoing support to keep the plan updated as the project evolves.
