Hi,

I need to do risk assessments for all my customers, all domestic, so that I can adhere to the hse rules.

Thing is, don't know where to begin

I've looked at some samples in the document area, but just don't get it.

Do I have to put down what windows are cleaned by what method, ie ladder or pole?

Do I give a copy to the client?

I'm confussed on this

Any help would be greatful. I want to work within the law, and safley, just don't get what is involved in doing a domestic risk assessment.

Thanks

Jay

if you have less than 5 employees, your risk assessment does not have to be written down, nor given to any client. If you were stopped by HSE, as long as you can show that you have carried out a mental risk assessment and minimised any risks found and explain why you are working in the manner you are, you will be fine...I think you are being over cautious by the way!

Thanks for the advice.

Much appreciated

We all do a mental risk assesment when we put the ladder to the window.
well hopefully anyway
