Young person risk assessment


Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, we have a responsibility to ensure that young people (under the age of 18) employed by us are not exposed to risk due to their lack of experience, being unaware of existing or potential risks and/or lack of maturity.

When employing a person under the age of 18, whether for work or work experience, we have the same responsibilities for their health, safety and welfare as we do for other employees.
