Now superseded H&S Manual - new title is Revised Guidance on General Risk Assessment

Guidance on Risk Assessment has been updated and reissued.

The revised guidance includes several new elements. These are:

  • The Risk Assessment Checklist now includes a scoring system for generic hazards so that identified risks can be prioritised.

  • Expanded and updated guidance on controlling the risk of slips, trips and falls.

  • Guidance on risk control for specific groups of people - directly employed kitchen staff; directly employed cleaning staff; office staff and disabled people.

  • An annexe summarising the main actions to be taken to comply with the County Council's previously issued Tree Safety Management Policy.

    Actions for all Headteachers/Premises Managers

    Headteachers and other managers of premises must ensure that they have familiarised themselves with and are working to this revised guidance.
