Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the operators of businesses have a duty to protect their employees, and others, from harm.

The minimum actions to be performed are:

• identify potential hazards that could cause injury or illness in the business
• decide how likely it is that someone could be harmed and how seriously (the risk)
• take action to eliminate the hazard, or, at least, control the risk

Assessing risk is just one part of the overall process used to control risks in your workplace.

In the event of an investigation by licensing authorities into a health and safety incident, successfully keeping your premises licence or personal licence may depend upon being able to demonstrate that you have taken measures to reduce risks.
