Risk Assessments

Ensuring the safe storage and management of hazardous substances is crucial, regardless of the quantity you hold or your certification status. Our comprehensive audits are designed to help you comply with the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations. 

We start by reviewing your hazardous substance documentation, including inventories, written procedures, any compliance documentation including tracking and staff training records, to understand your current management practices. This is followed by a thorough physical inspection of your site, where we assess storage, equipment, signage, spill kits, and other emergency equipment to ensure everything is up to standard. 

• Segregation of Incompatibles: Detailed guidance on proper storage to prevent dangerous reactions.
• Hazardous Areas: Identification and management of areas where hazardous substances are used or stored.
• Signage and Documentation: Ensuring appropriate signage and accurate documentation are in place.
• Emergency Planning: Development and review of emergency response plans.
• Secondary Containment: Recommendations for spill containment measures.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Assessment of PPE requirements and compliance.

After the assessment, we provide a comprehensive report providing a clear list of regulatory controls relevant to your workplace, assess your current compliance status, and offer actionable steps to achieve full compliance. These are often the first step towards obtaining Location Certification.

• Tailored for Your Needs. Whether you need a comprehensive review or a targeted assessment, we ensure that all aspects of hazardous substance management are thoroughly evaluated.
