Health and Safety law expects every business to carry out a risk assessment of its workplace to check that the necessary precautions are in place. A risk assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities and helps you focus on the risks that could potentially cause harm.
After undertaking a risk assessment you will need to define the safe way of working. Defining a safe way of working means writing a set of rules or procedures to create Safe Working Practices. Safe Work Practices will set the standard for performing a particular job or task and should be followed by all employees.
