Risk Assessments:
Staff must be involved in assessing risks in the workplace and developing safe systems of
work – the Union Safety Representative MUST be consulted on matters affecting safety of staff.
Risk assessments must be signed and dated by the manager and reviewed every 12 months
or following a change or an incident/accident.
