Foreword
Welcome to the 2013 edition of Sheffield City Councils health and safety
handbook.
Sheffield City Council is committed to working with businesses to achieve
healthy and safe workplaces for people who work in or visit businesses in the
Sheffield area.
The need for safety awareness in business cannot be over emphasised.
The cost of accidents is immense both in personal terms (pain, suffering and
loss of earnings) and the cost to business (staff absences, damage,
increased insurance premiums and health and safety fines).
I hope that you find this advisory booklet useful as a quick available source of
practical advice on health and safety legislation.

Risk Assessments
14
How to do an Assessment
The first step is to look for the
hazards in your business. You may
think that there are no hazards in
your workplace but if you step back
and think about what you do, or take
a walk around the business, you may
see a number of hazards.
A hazard means anything that can
cause harm (e.g. chemicals,
electricity, working on ladders etc.)
The next step is to think about what
the risk is from the hazards you have
seen, and who could be injured or
made ill by the hazards.
Risk is the chance, great or small,
that someone will be harmed by a
hazard.
Next, think about what you need to
do to prevent people being harmed
and decide whether or not you are
doing enough. You can use the
information in this booklet as a guide
to the standards that you should be
meeting, or use the booklets referred
to at the end of each chapter. See
also Getting More Help.
If you find something needs to be
done to prevent harm you should
give priority to the risks which are
most serious. You should try to
remove the hazard completely but if
this is not possible you should find
out how to control the risks so that
harm is unlikely.

Case Study
Floor collapse at
entertainment venue
In September 2011, a section of
timber flooring and chimney breast
collapsed into a cellar area at a
depth of over 2m in a rear adjoining
outbuilding of a pub located in
Sheffield. Several people fell into the
basement and amazingly only four
people were taken to hospital with
relatively minor injuries. Considering
the circumstances, the injuries could
have been potentially serious or even
fatal.
The outbuilding was being used for
an event in an un-licensed area of
the building, during which live bands
were performing to occupancy levels
between 50 to 100 people. The room
within the outbuilding was not
assessed for the suitability of this
type of event.
Further investigation by a specialist
structural engineer showed that
many of the joists had significant
decay, evidence of insect attack,

safe access to windows. Where your
windows cannot be cleaned from the
ground you should make sure that
one or more of the following is done:
Firstly, check if windows can be
cleaned from the inside eg pivot
windows
Can windows be cleaned from
the ground using pole systems to
avoid working at height

Hairdressing
Dermatitis
It might come as a surprise to some
people but hairdressers are one of
the professions that are most likely to
develop dermatitis from their job. In
fact dermatitis is more common
amongst hairdressers than any other
profession. More that two thirds of
hairdressing apprentices suffer
some skin damage and a third
experience severe skin changes. a
recent survey of UK hairdressers
found that 39% reported hand
dermatitis. Skin problems often start
within the first month of work

Gas
Gas Appliances
Gas appliances must be properly
fitted and maintained to make sure
that they are safe. You must:
Use a competent fitter to install or
maintain gas equipment. On the
1st April 2009, the CORGI Gas
registration scheme was
replaced in Great Britain by the
Gas Safe Register.
If you employ the services of a
gas engineer, please ensure that
they have the appropriate
commercial catering
qualifications to work on
commercial installations and
equipment. All registered gas
engineers will carry a Gas Safe
Register ID card with their own
unique licence number, showing
the type of
gas work they
are qualified
to do. Before
any gas work
is carried out,
make sure
you check
their Gas Safe ID card as it is
against the law for any person
who is not registered or covered
by his/her employer's registration
with the Gas Safe Register, to
work on the maintenance or
installation of gas fittings or
appliances.

engineer is registered:

No Smoking Signage
All smokefree premises, which
includes vehicles, need to display no
smoking signs that meet the
requirements of the law. Displaying
the necessary signage makes it
clear that you are adhering to the
requirements stated in the smoke
free legislation. The sign below is a
