Hazards


Hazardous work can really be a danger to your employees! So as part of the Corporate Health and Safety Policy, every employer must by law carry out a risk assessment.

Where your risk assessment has highlighted a hazard that cannot be eliminated completely from the workplace, or adequately controlled in any other way, a further option is to issue Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to your employees to protect them against the risk presented by the hazard!
