Ensure Workplace Safety with Expert Risk Assessments
ABH Safety Services assists your business with implementing compliant, thorough risk assessment procedures.
Why are risk assessments important
Risk assessments are vital for identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in the workplace. By law, employers must ensure risks are managed to protect employees and visitors, particularly for businesses with five or more employees. These assessments not only ensure legal compliance but also demonstrate your commitment to employee safety and well-being, preventing potential harm and injuries.

Inspections and Audits FAQs
Can I do a risk assessment myself?
Yes, you can, especially for simple, low-risk situations if you feel knowledgeable enough. However, for complex risks or if you're unsure, you might need help from someone competent, like a specialist consultant.
Which areas do you cover?
We conduct risk assessments across many business types and work activities. Please get in touch to discuss how we can address the specific risks relevant to your industry and workplace.
Do you provide training?
Yes, we offer various health and safety training courses, including training related to understanding and carrying out risk assessments effectively.
What should my health and safety policy include?
Your policy should outline your commitment to safety, who is responsible for specific safety tasks, and the practical arrangements you have in place (like how you handle risk assessments, training, and emergency procedures). If you employ five or more people, it legally must be written down.
What does reasonably practical mean?
This legal term means you need to balance the level of risk against the cost, time, and effort needed to control it. You must take action to reduce risks unless the sacrifice involved is grossly disproportionate to the safety benefit gained.
