Key Considerations Before Proceeding

  • The accuracy of the updated assessment depends on the quality and completeness of the information provided. Desktop reviews rely on up-to-date documentation, records, and communication from the responsible person.

  • Health, Safety & Fire Risk Assessments should still be reviewed regularly, with frequency determined by risk levels and previous findings.

  • Recommendations within the updated report should be actioned in line with their identified priority levels.

  • Assessments are based on current legislation and guidance, which can only be definitively interpreted by Courts of Law.

How Desktop Reviews Support Compliance

Bespoke Desktop Reviews support the ongoing requirements of Regulation 3 of the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, alongside relevant fire safety legislation and Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Responsible persons are required to ensure that risk assessments are kept up to date and reflective of current conditions. Where a full re-inspection is not immediately necessary, a desktop review provides a cost-effective and efficient way to maintain compliance.

What You Should Do Next

  • Ensure all relevant documentation, records, and updates are provided to support an accurate and thorough review

  • Complete all recommended actions in line with their priority levels and maintain records to demonstrate compliance

  • Align desktop reviews with your wider compliance strategy, including Fire Risk Assessments and other safety documentation, for a consistent and streamlined approach
