Undertake a health and safety risk assessment
01/01/2008 send to a friend
If you have customers, staff or sub-contractors coming in to your home, take a health and safety risk assessment. It’s a quick and easy process that protects you and your visitors.
The five steps you need to take are contained in a useful guide produced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). They are:
1. Identify any hazard
2. Decide who might be harmed and how
3. Assess the risks and take appropriate action to remove them or reduce them as far as possible
4. Record the findings
5. Check the risks from time to time and take further steps if needed.
Download the guide from the HSE website.

Comment: I am a St. John Ambulance Cadet, so here are some other tips that you might find useful.
1. Check for your own safety - If someone is injured, then something usually caused that injury. Whether it is a slippery floor, an electric wire, etc. something made it happen.
2. Check for a response. If there is no response, check for breathing.
3. If necessary, call an ambulance. Remember to do this BEFORE administrating CPR or other necessary procedures.
4. If the patient has possible neck or spinal injuries/fractures, do NOT move the patient unless the patient is not breathing.
5. Take all possible measures to stop bleeding.
