VINTAGE JOBS DAUGHTER RING

Sooner or later you are going to bring in new machinery, substances or procedures which may lead to new hazards. If there is any significant change, add this new hazard to your assessment. You do not need to amend your assessment for every trivial change, or for each new job.

But if any change, or new job, brings in significant new hazards, then you should consider them in their own right and do whatever is necessary to keep the risks down.

And finally, it is a good working practice to review your assessment from time to time, to ensure that the precautions are still working effectively.

1. Step 4. Record your findings.
2. If you have less than 5 employees then you do not need to write anything down. Although you will find it useful to keep a written record of what you have done. If you have five or more employees, then you must put in writing the significant findings of your risk assessment. This means writing down the significant hazards and your conclusions.

Fumes from welding: local exhaust ventilation provided and regularly checked.
