Workplace risk assessments

Often employers know they should provide risk assessments but can feel they haven’t the time or expertise to undertake it themselves. They may even know the benefits that proper use of risk assessments can bring but  feel daunted by the task at hand.

The type of injuries that can be prevented with appropriate risk assessment includes

• Back pain from Manual Handling,
• Upper limb disorders and visual problems from using computers
• Breathing difficulties and skin problems from using chemicals
• Mental health issues from stress

As an employer you have a legal obligation to look after your staff and protect them from injury, and providing risk assessments is the first step in managing their wellbeing. You can use professionals either to do the assessments or to train your own staff in doing risk assessments. Either way you want to make sure it will make a difference to health of your employees and your business.

Premiere can provide employers with occupational health nurses, physicians, and ergonomists to conduct the risk assessments that you need at your place of work.
