Protect your Business Before it’s too Late
Uncertain if your current risk assessments are up to date or fit for purpose? Many businesses only identify shortcomings when an accident, inspection, or legal issue arises. Missed hazards, vague reporting, or a lack of real-time assessment can expose your business to serious consequences. Managing risk isn’t optional, it’s a legal and operational necessity.
Consider These Real-World Examples
FloPlast Fined £400k After
Forklift Incident
FloPlast Ltd, a plastic pipe manufacturer, was fined £400,000 after an employee was seriously injured when struck by a reversing forklift truck. There was no documented safe system of work in place, and the company had failed to properly assess and manage the risk of workplace transport. The employee sustained multiple leg fractures and required extensive surgery. HSE stated the incident was “entirely preventable” had a suitable risk assessment been conducted.
Kronospan Worker Loses Leg Due to Poor Risk Assessment
Kronospan Ltd, a wood panel manufacturer, was fined £400,000 after a 350kg pack of MDF sheets fell from a trailer and crushed a worker, resulting in the loss of his leg. The company had failed to carry out a suitable risk assessment for the unloading process and had not implemented an adequate safe system of work. The investigation concluded that the incident could have been avoided with basic risk control measures in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
A risk assessment is the process of identifying potential hazards in the workplace, evaluating the risks they pose, and determining appropriate control measures to reduce or eliminate those risks. It’s a legal requirement under UK health and safety legislation and is essential for protecting employees and others affected by your work activities.
Employers are legally responsible for ensuring suitable and sufficient risk assessments are completed. This includes assessing risks to employees, contractors, and anyone else affected by the work.
Risk assessments should be reviewed regularly, particularly when there are changes to work processes, equipment, personnel, or following an incident. Annual reviews are generally recommended.
You’ll receive a clear, tailored report with practical recommendations. Our consultants can support you in implementing the findings and maintaining long-term compliance.
