Risk Assessment Services We can help you meet your legal duty to carry out ‘suitable and sufficient’ health and safety risk assessments. Whether you’d like assistance with the key risk assessment foundation – spotting hazards or just want an onsite transport or noise assessment, we can help. Hazard Spotting The first step towards ‘suitable and sufficient’ risk assessments. A CMIOSH consultant visits your site to conduct a thorough assessment of all workplace safety hazards. This will include identifying priorities, discussing controls and advising on reporting mechanisms. On-site Workplace Transport The second-biggest cause of accidents at work. An independent review of vehicle movement and operations across a site. Looks at ways to reduce risks by segregating pedestrians from vehicles throughout the workplace. Culminates in an onsite de-brief and the production of a bespoke action plan detailing how working areas can be improved. Noise Assessments RoSPA’s noise assessor will identify noise hazards and establish whether the lower and upper exposure action values are being exceeded. They will also estimate the personal daily noise exposure of employees and identify measures required to eliminate or reduce risk, control exposure and protect employees. Results are analysed and presented to incorporate immediate and future actions. The RoSPA consultant will also make recommendations on the selection of appropriate engineering controls, hearing protection programmes, health surveillance and PPE. Dust Assessments Under COSHH Regulations, employers must assess and appropriately manage any risk to employee ill-health occurring from exposure to hazardous materials. A RoSPA consultant will visit your premises in order to act as the ‘competent person’ required to assess workplace dust exposure levels. The consultant will assess exposure levels for individuals and carry out background monitoring. Following analysis they will report on exposure levels, legal compliance and suggested control measures. Exposure to dust is associated with ill-health, including respiratory and cardiovascular illness and mortality. Local authorities are increasingly including dust monitoring as a planning requirement. Conducted by a fully competent noise assessor, recognised by the Institute of Acoustics. Ensures you are fully compliant with the recently-lowered legally acceptable noise levels. “Essential ground work to assist with the risk assessment process.” Rob Burgon, RoSPA’s Workplace Safety Manager.
