6.0 Risk Assessment and Control

When we undertake general risk assessments of our work activities we take into account the risks to particular individuals, including visitors. We also ensure that risks which are likely to be introduced by visitors are included.

• Our fire safety risk assessment also considers the numbers and types of visitors we are likely to have on site at any one time. The meeting organiser must have a plan to evacuate disabled visitors, and if they are mobility impaired, prioritise the ground floor for meetings where possible.

Warning signs are displayed where visitors need to be forewarned of hazards or safety requirements. Safety signs include clear instructions and pictograms in accordance with the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.

If our risk assessments have determined that visitors require PPE this will be required to be worn at all appropriate times.
