Specialist Risk Assessments

Some risks require more detailed or specialist consideration, particularly where the potential consequences are higher or the regulatory expectations are more specific. For many organisations, the challenge isn’t recognising this, it’s knowing what level of assessment is appropriate and how to keep it practical.

At Yorsafety, we support organisations to access specialist risk assessments that are focused on understanding real exposure and supporting safe work, rather than producing overly technical documents. The emphasis is on clarity, usability, and ensuring assessments genuinely help people manage risk in practice.

How We Drive Excellence

Fire Risk Assessments

Fire Risk Assessments

We support fire risk assessments that consider how buildings are used, how people move through them, and how fire safety arrangements work day to day. The focus is on clear findings and practical actions that improve safety without unnecessary complications.

DSEAR and Explosive Atmosphere Assessments

DSEAR and Explosive Atmosphere Assessments

Where dangerous substances or explosive atmospheres are present, we help organisations understand their risks and regulatory duties. Assessments are proportionate to the activity and focused on practical control measures that reflect how work is actually carried out.

Asbestos Management Planning

Asbestos Management Planning

We support the development and review of asbestos management arrangements that provide clarity and confidence. This includes understanding risk, maintaining appropriate records, and ensuring controls remain effective and aligned with the organisation’s activities.

Confined Spaces, Noise, and Other Specialist Assessments

Confined Spaces, Noise, and Other Specialist Assessments

Through our trusted associates, we can support a range of other specialist assessments, including confined spaces, noise, vibration, and environmental risks. All specialist input is integrated into your wider health and safety arrangements rather than treated in isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specialist assessments are usually needed where risks are more complex, regulated, or have the potential for serious harm. We can help you determine when specialist input is required and what level of assessment is appropriate.

Some assessments are delivered directly by Yorsafety, while others are supported through our network of trusted associates. In all cases, we remain closely involved to ensure consistency and quality.

Specialist assessments should complement, not replace, your existing arrangements. We help integrate findings so they support day-to-day risk management rather than creating parallel systems.

Not necessarily. The aim is to identify what genuinely matters and prioritise actions that reduce risk effectively, rather than creating long lists of low-value recommendations.
