Supporting Information

We move objects in everyday life, but when in a work environment we need to consider the objects or people we may move. We need to assess whether there is risk to individuals moving these items and how we can minimise the risk. The Manual Handling Regulations require that employer takes all reasonable steps to reduce the risk to an individual.

It is often safe to work alone, however depending on the nature of the work there are various risks. The law requires employers to consider the risks and ensure precautions are taken before someone is aloud to work alone.

Employers have a requirement to provide a safe working environment and while we hope no one would ever have an accident while at work, an employer needs to be prepared for the possibility. According to the law an employer must provide adequate first aid equipment, facilities and number of qualified first aiders. An employer must carry out a needs assessment to determine what these resources should be.
