Bison Assist Health & Safety Services

Risk assessments play a fundamental role in keeping a workplace safe and accessible for everyone. Regular and thorough checks to workplace physical condition, policy and process are really important. These checks should be supported with assessments conducted by qualified individuals who have expert knowledge to identify and support in minimising any risks. This also includes disability access and any barriers to accessibility.

In line with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Section 2(1), all employers have the duty to safeguard their employees’ health, safety and welfare at work. Bottom line, employers don’t only have a legal duty, but also a moral one to ensure their employees leave work safe, as no one should be expected to lose life, limb or have their mental health affected within the workplace.

Ensuring disability access is compliant with current legal requirements is a key part of promoting equality. This will help to make the space as safe, inclusive, and accessible to as many people as possible. These guidelines are in place to help eliminate discrimination or exclusion of people on the basis of disability and play a role in protecting their wellbeing.
