People with medical conditions 鈥� assessing risks

8 September 2022

You don't need a separate risk assessment for people with medical conditions. Find out how to take their needs into account when reviewing your existing risk assessments.

There is no legal聽requirement to carry out a specific, separate, risk assessment for people with medical conditions. However, If you become aware that somebody has a medical condition (including mental health conditions) or a disability, you should review your existing risk assessments to make sure the current control measures are adequate and will cover any additional risks that might be present for them. Workplace Health can provide specialist advice and guidance if required.

Confidentiality

Employers need to ensure confidential and appropriate handling of 鈥榮ensitive personal data鈥�, which includes data about a person鈥檚 health.

Risk assessments should not contain personal information that identifies individuals.
