This assessment is designed to help garden centre owners and managers evaluate their current safety measures and workplace practices to maintain a secure environment for staff and customers.

It serves as a useful tool for identifying areas of improvement, ensuring compliance with regulations, and developing action plans for ongoing safety management.

While valuable for internal assessment, it also provides documentation that demonstrates a thorough evaluation has been conducted.

You may find it helpful to have the assessment reviewed by an independent assessor who can validate your work or suggest refinements.

This tool aligns with UK legislative requirements and incorporates elements of ISO 9001, 14001, and OHSAS 18001.

Use the “Guidance” tab below for details on the assessment scope, and the “Check-list” tab to begin.

You can save this spreadsheet at any time, but we recommend renaming it to keep an original version for future use.
