START WITH WHAT YOU DO
Your business. Your context.
The same rule can mean different things in different workplaces. Choose a starting point, then add the details that make it yours.
Offices & professional services
From a small shared office to a growing team working across several sites.
Shops & retail
Customer-facing premises, stockrooms, staff and the risks of everyday work.
Food, drink & hospitality
Food businesses, cafés and places where people gather or stay.
Property & managing agents
Rented homes, commercial premises and shared areas with overlapping responsibilities.
Construction & trades
Work on other people’s sites, tools, materials and changing risks.
Manufacturing & warehousing
Machinery, storage, vehicles and the people operating alongside them.
Care, health & education
A starting point for workplace duties, alongside the requirements of your sector regulator.
Online & home-based businesses
Electrical equipment, screen work and the risks of working from home.
Business type alone cannot establish every duty. Your nation, premises, activities and who is at risk all matter. Use these pages as a starting point.
