Principal J7 service

Health & Safety Risk Assessments

Premises-focused assessment with clear evidence, proportionate controls and prioritised actions for businesses and property clients.

Controlled J7 instruction

Scope, evidence and deliverable are confirmed before work proceeds

The service is shaped around the premises and client responsibility rather than a pre-written package.

Information required

Work activities, premises, people affected, existing assessments, incident information, controls and any known specialist hazards.

What is confirmed

The premises, areas, service, attendance, fee, VAT, timescale, exclusions and payment or approved account terms are recorded in the quotation.

Expected output

A workplace risk assessment recording significant hazards, existing controls, further action, priorities and limitations within the agreed scope.

Scope and delivery control

This service is accepted only after the precise requirement is confirmed

J7 reviews the activities, premises, people affected, required deliverable, competence route and current insurance position before a health and safety instruction is accepted. A public service page is not confirmation that every occupational health and safety discipline is within scope.

Defined boundaries

Specialist testing, occupational hygiene, engineering design, medical assessment and other disciplines remain outside an ordinary premises risk assessment unless expressly included through an appropriately competent and insured delivery route.

Evidence-led and proportionate

Health and safety findings that can be assigned, tracked and reviewed

The assessment is matched to the activities and condition of the premises. It does not use a generic checklist to imply that every hazard applies everywhere.

How the assessment is approached

  • Confirm the premises, activities, people affected and existing arrangements
  • Review available policies, previous assessments, inspections and relevant records
  • Inspect the workplace and discuss how risks are controlled in practice
  • Record significant findings, existing safeguards and gaps requiring action
  • Prioritise proportionate actions and identify any specialist follow-up

What the report supports

  • Clear ownership of actions and management responsibilities
  • Evidence that foreseeable workplace risks have been considered
  • Practical monitoring, inspection and maintenance arrangements
  • Review after material change, incident or identified control failure
  • Coordination with fire-safety and emergency arrangements where they overlap

Suitable for property and workplace responsibilities

A practical scope for the people who manage premises

The exact scope is confirmed before appointment so the assessment reflects the organisation, occupation and level of control.

Businesses and employers

Review workplace activities, facilities, equipment and management arrangements affecting employees and others.

Landlords and managing agents

Consider the areas and activities under the client’s control, including access, contractors, maintenance and common facilities.

Commercial property clients

Support due diligence, occupation, management review or the resolution of identified premises-safety concerns.

Connected support

Bring the wider premises arrangements together

Assessment findings, written arrangements and ongoing management should reinforce one another.

Common questions

Clear scope before instruction

These answers explain the usual service boundary. The accepted quotation confirms the exact scope for the premises and client.

Is the health and safety assessment a generic checklist?

No. The work is based on the activities, premises, people affected and controls actually in place. Irrelevant hazards are not added simply to make the report longer.

Can fire safety and workplace safety be reviewed together?

They can be coordinated where the scopes overlap, but each assessment remains clear about the duties, evidence and findings it addresses. The quotation confirms whether one or both services are included.

What if specialist testing is required?

The assessment identifies the limitation and the competent specialist input needed. It does not represent visual assessment as electrical testing, engineering design, occupational hygiene or another specialist discipline.

Pricing and scope

The fee follows the work the premises actually requires

A simple standard service should be easy to price. Variable or complex work should not be made to look fixed merely to create an instant checkout.

Route A

Defined standard service

A fixed fee is used only where the service, eligibility, inputs and deliverable are genuinely standardised. The formal quotation confirms that the premises meets the route.

Route B

Premises-specific fee

Most assessments and consultancy work depend on the building, use, size, evidence, access, sleeping risk and required output. J7 provides an honest starting point, range or fee band only after sufficient information is available.

Route C

Complex or portfolio scope

High-risk, unusual, multi-site and portfolio instructions require tailored scoping. Mobilisation, sites, programme, reporting, review arrangements and any specialist work are set out in a written proposal.

No surprise route changes

Indicative information is not a binding quotation. Before payment or booking, the client receives a written scope, exclusions, fee, VAT, deliverables and applicable payment terms. J7 does not use an automated price to make competence, life-safety or professional-scope decisions.
