Offices & professional services

From a small shared office to a growing team working across several sites.

Start with the way you work.

Tell the finder about your premises, nation and people. You can refine the answer as you go.

AN EXAMPLE TO ADAPT“We run an office in England with 12 staff. We rent the building and some of us work from home.”

Topics worth checking

These are starting points, not a complete list of obligations.

Fire safety

Does my business need a fire risk assessment?

Start with the risks in your building, the people using it and who is responsible for each part.

Electrical safety

Is annual PAT testing a legal requirement?

Electrical equipment must be safe. The right inspection and testing regime depends on how it is used.

Health & safety

Where do I start with a workplace risk assessment?

Understand what could harm people in your business and take practical steps to control it.

People at work

Do home workers need a DSE assessment?

The working arrangement matters more than whether the desk is in an office.

Before you ask for a quote

Describe occupied floors, shared areas, working hours and responsibility under the lease. Ask how any visit affects normal work.

Which areas does our lease make us responsible for?
Does the quote include shared areas or only our office?
How will findings reach the person who can authorise action?

Specialist activities may need additional assessments, permissions or sector guidance. The finder does not certify compliance or replace a competent assessment of your workplace.
