Various aspects of health & safety legislation impose a statutory duty upon an employer to make suitable and sufficient assessments of the risks associated with their workplace and undertakings.

Legislation requiring assessments within this manual include:

• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations
• The Fire Precautions Act - Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations
• The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations.
• The Display Screen Equipment Regulations
• The Manual Handling Regulations
• New and Expectant Mothers

To give you an example of our Risk Assessment System, which is extensive, we have provided A Risk Assessment, Method Statements and COSHH sheet, in respect of Carpet Spot Cleaning, as one example of a cleaning task.

The number of Risk Assessments/Method Statements and the contents of the COSHH folder will depend on the nature of the site being serviced.
