Comprehensive Office Risk Assessments
Practical office risk assessments that keep you compliant and audit-ready.
A safe office is a productive office — but office risks are often underestimated. RSA Safety Management Ltd provides clear, proportionate office risk assessments that identify real hazards, recommend practical controls, and give you documentation you can use day to day. Based in Basingstoke, supporting London and UK-wide.
Tailored Assessments to Fit Your Office
Your Office, Your Risks
We take time to understand how your office works: layout, occupancy, visitors, contractors, equipment and hybrid working patterns. You’ll receive a risk assessment that’s relevant to your environment, with clear actions that are realistic to implement.
What we typically cover:
- Slips, trips and falls
- Work equipment and office set-ups
- Contractor management (maintenance, deliveries, visitors)
- Storage, housekeeping and safe access/egress
- Lone working and out-of-hours access (where applicable)
- Incident reporting arrangements (as relevant to the scope)
Focus on Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
Ergonomics for Every Employee
DSE assessments help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and support staff who work in the office and/or remotely. We review workstation set-ups and provide practical adjustments and guidance your team can apply immediately.
DSE support can include:
- Workstation set-up checks and adjustments
- Guidance for hybrid/home working
- Advice on equipment needs (chairs, screens, accessories)
- Simple user guidance to prevent discomfort and strain
Fire safety considerations (office-focused)
Protecting Lives and Assets
Fire safety forms part of office risk management. We’ll review your office fire safety arrangements as part of the assessment and highlight any actions to help you maintain compliance and reduce risk. Where a specialist Fire Risk Assessment is required, we can coordinate this support.
Slips, Trips, and Falls
Small issues are the biggest cause of office incidents.
Uneven flooring, trailing leads, cluttered walkways and poor housekeeping are common causes of office accidents. We identify practical controls that reduce incidents quickly and help build a safer, more organised workplace.
What you receive
- A clear office risk assessment document (plain English)
- A prioritised action plan (what to fix first and why)
- Practical controls and recommendations your team can implement
- Optional follow-up support to help close out actions
If you’d like ongoing support, we can also provide retained competent person cover and keep your policies and assessments updated throughout the year.
