Risk assessment for young person on work experience
A risk assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, considering what could go wrong and deciding on suitable control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace. Before a business takes on a young person under the age of 18 for work experience, the law requires them to undertake a health and safety risk assessment covering specific points. This easy-to-use form is designed for any business wishing to ensure that they meet their legal obligations in this regard and can be tailored to meet the needs of any industry or sector.
