Health & Safety Risk Assessment

A health and safety risk assessment helps businesses identify hazards, assess risks, and implement measures to create a safe working environment. It ensures compliance with UK health and safety laws while reducing workplace accidents and protecting employees. Regular risk assessments also demonstrate a commitment to employee wellbeing and business continuity.

Why us

Comply With UK Health & Safety Laws

As a business owner, you are legally responsible for keeping your workplace safe. A risk assessment is a structured way to identify potential hazards, evaluate their impact, and determine ways to reduce risks. This process helps prevent workplace accidents, protect employees, and ensure compliance with UK health and safety regulations.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires all UK businesses to carry out regular risk assessments. Employers must also follow the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which outlines the need for documented risk assessments if you have five or more employees. These regulations apply to all industries and workplace environments, ensuring that risks are properly managed.

Good contact to say when they would arrive on site with information up front on what they would need to complete the risk assessments. Once received the risk assessments were easy to read and the 'to do' tasks were explained to ensure we remained compliant. Very competitively priced as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service - contacted last minute on Tuesday as needed some risk assessments carried out by today (Friday) for a regulatory inspection. Max arranged for an assessor to come to site this morning, first thing before the building got busy with staff and patients (we are an NHS premises). The assessor was polite, friendly, professional and helpful with useful suggestions. We were on a really tight deadline and the risk assessment reports were sent over well within the deadline, they look professional and thorough and only a couple of actions were highlighted (which we have already carried out). I have already recommended HSRA to several of my peers. Thank you

Using HSRA to do our Fire Risk Assessment was simple, we sent our address and within an hour we had a quote once their team checked the site on google maps. An Appointment was made for their surveyor to arrive and inspect the property. The Report arrived a couple of days later with a information for every part of the business including guidance on what to do in those areas that were not up to scratch. A big thanks to Max and his team at HSRA
