The government guidance says "You must share the results of your risk assessment with your workforce. If possible, you should consider publishing the results on your website (and we would expect all employers with over 50 workers to do so)."

How many have actually published a risk assessment on your internet site for the world and their dog to find and read?

We've done a UK-wide (and not very useful) Risk Assessment, and published it on our intranet. I’m not inclined to put it on the internet because there doesn’t seem much actual benefit in doing so, but I’m curious to see if I’m in a tiny minority.

We've also produced much more useful site-specific arrangements and procedures documents that set out the specific detail that all staff need to know and follow at each office.  The latter documents are also on the intranet, but are specifically circulated to each member of staff authorised to return to each office and they need to confirm back that they've read it and will comply with it before they are allowed back on the premises.

Discussed in member to member back in May. Similar conclusion internet is for customers and advertising the business, intranet is for internal communication e.g. distributing risk assessments

dont see the point of it being on the internet.  its communicated internally and to visitors.  As long as is its guidance I'm not bothering, have better things to do than keep it updated in another place.

Guidance - "advice or information"

Regulation - "a rule or directive made and maintained by an authority"

Don't see any connection with Union's other than their opportunistic antagonism. 

As with the difference between a mask and a face covering people should go to the source of information to separate fact from fiction and certainly not beleive the myth creators in the press and social media.

“You should consider publishing the results on your website (and we would expect all employers with over 50 workers to do so”

We considered it and decided that we only need to inform our employees of the findings of the risk assessments that have been completed via our intranet. The quoted statement is not the law but an example of overweening arrogance. We “expect” the powers that be to wind their necks in.​​​​​​​

Obviously we haven't. Our"website" is nothing more than a couple of fancy photos and contact details. I don't think it has been updated in over 10 years! I don't see why we need to let the public know what the significant findings of our risk assessment is, we are not open to the public.

If someone is visiting we send them the relevant details before they arrive (where possible), alternatively they are displayed prominently, for everyone to see, on the notice board.

I, personally, think only the service industry has any reason to publish this information in public, such as pubs, restaurants, beauty salons etc.

Following on from Watson’s suggestion, as there is apparently now no difference between guidance and actual regulations, the HSE could insist that all the intranet pages follow a particular colour scheme and anyone that does not will get a fixed penalty notice of £100. They could also change the actual requirements on a daily basis and not actually publish the details until the day they actually come into force.

Though as Peter Gotch commented on the MDF SDS post after eight years the HSE are still to correct the information (use of Dichloromethane paint strippers in wood working) on their own web site despite being the National Enforcing authority.

It was over 3 years ago A so not sure - probably said they were not following a regulation or section because they were not following the guidance document - but as i say how anyone new was expected to follow it when it had been withdrawn by the HSE i dont know. I think it should have been questioned and i know my friend wanted to - but the company decided to pay up - what do they saw "dont poke a sleeping Bear"? Just another example of the madness that H&S is becomeing for me - 30 years i have been in this game - think its time i hung up my high viz!

Ouch

Reminds me of the time I realised BSI don't have ISO 9001 certification
