Running an office feels a world away from a factory or a care home, but the law doesn't see it that way. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, every employer has to assess the risks their people face and act on them. On top of that sit a set of workplace-specific duties: a current fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order, adequate first aid provision, DSE (display screen equipment) assessments for everyone who works at a screen, and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations covering everything from temperature and lighting to welfare facilities.
The building itself carries duties too. Electrical safety (fixed-wire EICR and PAT), emergency lighting and fire alarm tests, water hygiene and legionella wherever there are taps and tanks, and an asbestos register if the building predates 2000. In a serviced or multi-tenant office, those duties get tangled: some sit with the landlord or operator, some with each tenant, and the split is rarely as clean as the lease suggests.
None of this is hard work in isolation. What's hard is keeping it all current at once, knowing what's due this week, who signed it, and which floor or tenant it covers, and being able to show it the moment it's asked for. That's the layer CalmCompliance owns.
