Service Overview
Risk Assessment
Comprehensive risk identification and management strategies to safeguard your workforce and ensure project continuity in high-pressure construction environments.
Lloyd Health & Safety provides professional workplace and construction risk assessments for contractors, trades, SMEs and organisations across Ceredigion, West Wales and throughout the UK.
Whether you need a single task-specific assessment, a suite of construction risk assessments or support reviewing your existing documentation, we provide practical assessments based on the work actually being undertaken — not generic paperwork that simply sits in a folder.
Our Methodology
01
Identification
We begin with a comprehensive site walk-through to identify all physical, chemical, and procedural hazards unique to your operation.
02
Evaluation
Each hazard is evaluated based on likelihood and severity, allowing us to prioritize risks that require immediate mitigation.
03
Control Implementation
We develop specific control measures following the hierarchy of controls—elimination, substitution, engineering, and PPE.
04
Review and Audit
Our process is cyclical. We conduct regular reviews and audits to ensure control measures remain effective as site conditions evolve.
Regulatory
Compliance
Navigating the complex landscape of health and safety legislation requires technical precision and deep industry knowledge. We ensure your construction projects are aligned with the latest regulatory frameworks, providing a foundation for safe and compliant operations across all project phases.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) are the main set of legal requirements for managing health, safety, and welfare on construction projects. We act as your expert guide, ensuring that all duty holders fulfill their legal obligations, from the pre-construction phase through to project completion and beyond.

HSE states that employers must make a "suitable and sufficient assessment" of risks to employees and others under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. HSE also explains that businesses should identify hazards, assess risks, control them, record findings and review the controls.
Do I Need a Risk Assessment?
A risk assessment is much more than a piece of paperwork produced because a client, principal contractor or auditor has asked to see one. It is a fundamental part of managing health and safety and helps ensure that hazards are identified, risks are properly understood and suitable control measures are put in place before someone is harmed.
​
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers are required to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to their employees and to other people who may be affected by their work. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises employers to identify hazards, consider who could be harmed, assess the level of risk and take appropriate action to eliminate or control that risk.
​
For construction businesses, contractors and trades, risk assessment is particularly important because activities can change quickly and workers may be exposed to several hazards at the same time. HSE guidance confirms that employers must assess the health and safety risks faced by employees and others on construction sites. Additional or more detailed assessments may also be required for specific hazards such as work at height, hazardous substances and COSHH, manual handling, noise and vibration.
​
A good risk assessment should therefore reflect the actual task, people, equipment, environment and working conditions involved. It should identify sensible and proportionate controls that can genuinely be followed on site, rather than simply becoming another document stored in a folder.
​
At Lloyd Health & Safety, we can help you develop practical, task-specific risk assessments that clearly identify hazards, establish appropriate controls and provide your workforce with information they can understand and use. Whether you require a single assessment, support reviewing existing documentation or a complete suite of risk assessments for a construction project, we can provide competent, practical support tailored to your business.
