What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is “a careful, thorough examination of a workplace (or activity) – looking at activities and what may cause harm, and then taking necessary precaution actions to prevent injury and ill health”.

There are 5 steps to a risk assessment:

  1. Identify hazards

We would recommend Flint Safety to anyone. We recently used Flint Safety for a fire risk assessment for our communal block of flats. James was incredibly knowledgeable and professional during his visit. He was quick to answer all of my questions and provided a thorough and detailed report in a very short space of time after the visit. He also provided us with some really useful resources/documents and advice that I have shared with the rest of the residents and he has been incredibly helpful providing ongoing advice about a more recent issue we have had with our fire safety equipment. We will definitely be using Flint Safety in the future for any fire, health and safety support. Thanks James for all your help and support.
James was quick to respond to our request for an office fire risk assessment. He was professional and knowledgeable and gave us good guidance to improve our office fire safety. We needed an assessment fairly urgently and he was able to provide the completed report the next working day. Very happy with the service provided, would recommend.

Great professional, timely knowledge from James who assisted SAS Energy with a complex client lead accreditation requirement. Great service from Flint Safety who we will use again for future Health & Safety support.
Having worked closely with James and the Flint Safety team over the last few months, I can say it is clear that there is a genuine attention to detail and duty of care with him and his company. A very personable service with the human touch, it's rare too see a team so committed to doing such a good job, achieving regulatory compliance and developing the knowledge and understanding of his clients.

We have been working with James Flint for over a year now, having engaged with him initially for a Fire Risk Assessment. We were so impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail we have since appointed Flint Safety as our competent person to provide H&S advice to our school.
James has not only produced a thorough Fire Risk Assessment for us, he has subsequently worked on a Fire Strategy, a plan for Fire Safety Signage and Fire Extinguisher Maps and has delivered exceptional training to staff members.
James is always on hand to answer any queries we may have and his communication is both timely and succinct. James is able to effortlessly explain things with appropriate language that is easy to understand and nothing is ever too much trouble.
James has provided us with templates, and has steered us towards examples from other schools, as well as ensuring soluitions are affordable and practical.
We would not hesitiate to recommend Flint Safety.
