Does anyone have experience with completing work place Health and Safety Risk Assessments? I've been asked to complete one. I currently take insulin and will need to inject at work. Will be doing this at my desk and it's around injections that I particularly could do with some assistance. It's not a matter of resistance from anyone about injecting and where I can do this, moreover about needles in the office and 'accidents'.

I have to identify "Foreseeable Significant Hazards" and "Control Measures and Monitoring Processes"

I've no issues with do this as, I work in several different environments, office, construction sites, driving etc. so will need to do a lot of testing as well as my morning injection.

Thanks in advance.

Personally I think it's your employers responsibility to do the risk assessment on you… They can ask questions and discuss risks and measure to prevent them.. Then do their risk assessment.

Certainly any employer I've had, has don't that
