Employers are required to take reasonably practicable measures to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees whilst they are at work.

Employers are required to take reasonably practicable measures to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees whilst they are at work. To do this correctly, as part of your business management process you need to know the hazards and risks present in the workplace and faced by your workers when they are working at other locations. Regulations make this a legal requirement. To comply you need to formally assess and think about what might cause harm to people and consider whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm. Risk assessment is simply a careful and sensible way of identifying what, in your work place, could cause harm to people. If you have fewer than five employees health and safety legislation doesn’t require you to keep a written record. However, should you face a personal injury claim a timely record, even if brief, will be of benefit.

A risk assessment template is a document that identifies potential workplace hazards, evaluates their harm, and records measures to mitigate highlighted risks. The main aspects of the template will include the identification of hazards (anything physical, chemical, biological, or ergonomic), the people at risk (how and to what extent), what measures are in place, and what controls can be implemented.

More and more people have been working from home in recent times. Whether it’s from an office space, the dining-room table, or a desk in the spare room, we class these workers as lone workers. This means they work remotely, without direct supervision, and perform work tasks separate from their colleagues.
