Every employer is required to carry out a risk assessment for the workplace which should identify any hazards present in the workplace, assess the risks arising from such hazards and identify the steps to be taken to deal with any risks.
The Act places a general duty to 'ensure so far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees'.
Employers must comply with the Act — they must provide and maintain safety equipment and safe systems of work.
They must control the key risk areas for their employees, their customers and the public who may be affected by what they do in the workplace.
To this end the contracting authority wishes to establish a framework agreement for the provision of Health and Safety Training and Consultancy for all Civil Service and Public Sector bodies to enable them to be compliant under the 2005 Act.
The contracting authority reserves the right to extend the term for a period or periods of up to twelve (12) months with a maximum of two (2) such extension or extensions on the same terms and conditions, subject to the contracting authority’s obligations at law. The term will not exceed four (4) years in aggregate.
