Generally, 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.

In many cases, specific, separate, risk assessments for people with medical conditions are not required and existing risk assessments can be modified to take into account risks that may be present for them. Where personalised risk assessments are required, for example, if advised by Workplace Health, these should be carried out by managers and saved confidentially within riskNET.

Separate guidance is available forÌýnew and expectant mothers.

Risk assessmentsÌýshould not contain personal informationÌýthat identifies individuals.
