Well-Being and Self-Care Risk Assessment

This newly developed risk assessment has been carefully designed around employee’s well-being and self-care in your service. This wellbeing risk assessment should be carried out annually as a preventative/proactive measure, or as and when any new risks are identified, as a result of changes occurring within the business or for any individuals personally. It is designed to be a working document, which should be reviewed throughout the year. As an employer you may not be able to control the factors identified but it is important that you are aware of them and that you can intervene or implement interventions that may support your employee’s well-being.

The document outlines categories which employee’s well-being usually falls into; job characteristics, role characteristics, the work environment, relationships and the individual. Each of these categories are further divided into potential risks and further suggested actions are already completed for you. The risks highlighted are typical of those which could be causing distress, however if they are not applicable to your business or a different risk has been identified then you can amend the form as necessary to align the risks and actions to those identified. The employer/designated person in charge is responsible to outline the measures put in place, the person reliable and the date the each one has been completed.

Should a particular area be of significant concern, for example work-related stress, it might be appropriate to seek advice from Occupational Health and carry out a more bespoke stress risk assessment with the individual concerned.
