CREST COMPLIANCE
Health and Safety Specialists
Risk Assessments
We offer tailored risk assessments across a wide range of workplace activities, including general workplace risk assessment as well as more specialised assessments.
General Risk Assessments
Every workplace needs a solid foundation—and that starts with understanding everyday risks. At Crest Compliance, we carry out thorough assessments that cover common hazards like slips, trips, fire safety, manual handling, and workstation setup. We’ll help you spot issues before they escalate, put sensible controls in place, and keep your business aligned with legal duties. It’s practical safety made simple.
Task Specific Risk Assessments
Every task carries its own risks—and the more hands-on the work, the more important the details. At Crest Compliance, we dive into specific activities like working at height, operating machinery, and handling hazardous substances (COSHH), to help you spot potential issues before they become real problems. We’ll tailor controls to each job, keeping your team safe, your processes efficient, and your paperwork up to scratch.
Display Screen Equipment Risk Assessments
Good posture, clear screens, and the right setup make all the difference when it comes to comfort and productivity. Crest Compliance carries out thorough DSE assessments to make sure your team is working safely with computers and other display equipment. We check for risks like eye strain, poor seating, and repetitive strain injuries—then recommend practical tweaks to reduce discomfort and meet legal duties. Simple steps, big impact.
COSHH Risk Assessments
Hazardous substances are part of many workplaces—but managing them doesn’t have to be complicated. At Crest Compliance, we carry out COSHH assessments that help you understand the risks and control exposure safely. From cleaning chemicals to industrial materials, we’ll guide you through identifying substances, evaluating how they’re used, and putting robust controls in place. It’s all about keeping people safe, preventing harm, and meeting your legal responsibilities without the jargon.
New and Expectant Mother Risk Assessments
regnancy and new motherhood bring unique safety considerations—and employers have a legal duty to assess and manage those risks. At Crest Compliance, we support businesses in identifying and controlling hazards that could affect expectant or new mothers, from manual handling and workstation setup to exposure to chemicals or stress. We tailor assessments to each stage of pregnancy and postnatal recovery, helping you meet your legal obligations while creating a safe, supportive environment for your team.
Manual Handling Risk Assessments
Lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling—manual tasks are part of everyday work, but they can lead to serious injuries if not managed properly. At Crest Compliance, we assess manual handling activities to spot risks early and put sensible controls in place. Whether it’s heavy loads, awkward postures, or repetitive movements, we help you reduce strain, protect your team, and stay compliant with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. It’s about making manual work safer, smarter, and legally sound.
Hand Arm Vibration Risk Assessments
Regular use of vibrating tools can lead to serious health issues like tingling, numbness, and long-term nerve damage—but with the right checks, it’s preventable. Crest Compliance carries out HAVS assessments to help you spot risks early and protect your team. We look at exposure levels, symptoms, and work practices to make sure everything’s in line with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. Whether it’s screening, health surveillance, or practical advice, we help you stay compliant and keep vibration risks under control.
PUWER Risk Assessments
Work equipment should help—not harm. Under the PUWER regulations, employers have a legal duty to make sure any machinery, tools, or equipment used at work are safe, suitable, and properly maintained. At Crest Compliance, we carry out PUWER assessments that look at everything from installation and operation to maintenance and repair. Whether it’s a drill or a production line, we help you spot risks, meet legal requirements, and keep your team protected. It’s about making sure your equipment works for you—safely and compliantly.
Young Worker
Risk Assessments
Young workers bring energy and fresh perspective—but they also face unique risks due to inexperience, physical development, and unfamiliarity with workplace hazards. At Crest Compliance, we carry out tailored assessments for employees under 18, helping you meet your legal duties under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. We look at tasks, equipment, supervision, and working conditions to make sure everything’s safe, age-appropriate, and clearly understood. It’s about protecting young people while giving them the confidence to thrive.
Noise Risk Assessments
Too much noise at work isn’t just distracting—it can cause long-term hearing damage and lead to legal trouble if left unchecked. Crest Compliance carries out thorough noise assessments to help you understand exposure levels, identify high-risk areas, and put sensible controls in place. Whether it’s machinery, tools, or background noise, we’ll guide you through the process and make sure you’re meeting your duties under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. It’s about protecting hearing, reducing risk, and keeping your business compliant.
