A Bill to exempt employers from the requirement to produce a written risk assessment in respect of low hazard workplaces and the premises of those working from their own home with low hazard equipment.
The Low Hazard Workplaces (Risk Assessment Exemption) Bill would remove the requirement for some employers to produce a written risk assessment for workplaces deemed low hazard, including premises used by staff who work from home with low hazard equipment. If enacted, it would reduce formal risk assessment duties for these low‑risk settings.
The bill is at its second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage for detailed scrutiny and then later readings.
