Every work environment is required by law to complete a risk assessment on each and every machine or job

A process needs to be in place to identify any foreseeable hazards that may arise in the workplace and to
assess the risk of harm arising from the identified hazards. Employers have an obligation to eliminate the
hazards, but if this is not reasonably practicable, they must control the risk by implementing measures to lessen
the risk of harm to the lowest possible level.

1.
Carry out a risk assessment and complete a safe work method statement for the item you have purchased;
