Why every UK employer needs a written risk assessment
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires every employer — and most self-employed people — to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. That is a legal duty, not a recommendation. If something goes wrong at work and you cannot show you identified the risks and took reasonable steps to control them, you are exposed to enforcement action, civil claims, and in serious cases, prosecution.
Insurers ask for them. Clients and contractors ask for them before awarding work. If you have five or more employees, you are also required to record your findings in writing. In practice, most businesses of any size keep written records regardless — because it is the only way to demonstrate you have done it.
It does not have to be complicated. A risk assessment for a standard workplace activity — office work, manual handling, working at height — does not require a specialist. It requires someone who knows the work, the right framework, and the time to document it properly. This tool provides the framework. You provide the knowledge of your work.
