Risk Assessment FAQs
Can I do my own risk assessment?
Yes, you can conduct your own risk assessment as long as you’re a ‘competent person’—someone with enough training, experience, or knowledge to identify hazards and recommend control measures.
Employers are legally responsible for ensuring risk assessments are completed, as required by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. However, this task can be delegated to a ‘competent person’.
A competent person could include:
- The employer, if they understand workplace risks and safety practices.
- A trained employee with the confidence to identify hazards and recommend measures.
- An external consultant, especially for complex or high-risk environments.
Risk assessments are mandatory for all UK businesses, regardless of size. For smaller businesses with fewer than five employees, documenting findings isn’t legally required but is still considered good practice. Regular reviews are essential to keep assessments relevant as workplaces and regulations change.
Effective risk assessments help protect people, prevent accidents, and demonstrate your commitment to safety, ensuring your business runs smoothly and responsibly.
