COVID-19 workplace risk assessments

Information on carrying out workplace risk assessments during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Recording findings and implementing them

Once you have evaluated the risks and decided on precautions you should record your key findings on a template (such as our risk assessment template).

You only need to keep a written record of your risk assessment if you have five or more employees.

It is strongly recommended, however, that all organisations do this.

It’s likely that while assessing risks you created a list of actions that require attention.

You should prioritise them and make sure that there are enough resources to take them forward.

You should also give them an appropriate deadline and check that they have been completed.

It’s very important that you share the risk assessment with employees.
