Health & safety in Chelmsford: what we see most
For offices and multi-let buildings the priorities are usually fire risk assessment, display screen equipment, contractor control and a written policy once you reach five employees. For workshops and units on the industrial estates it's machinery, COSHH and noise. We cover both, and we tell you plainly what the law requires and what is simply good practice.

Questions from Chelmsford businesses
Do small Chelmsford offices need a fire risk assessment?
Yes. Every non-domestic premises in England needs a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment, and since October 2023 the whole assessment must be recorded in writing, whatever the size of the business.
Do I need a written health and safety policy?
If you employ five or more people, the law requires a written health and safety policy. We write bespoke policies that reflect how your business actually works.
