Health, Safety and Security
Risk assessment, lone working, viewings, site conditions, personal security, incident response and shared responsibilities.
How to study your four-unit route
Keep England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland rules coherent: one learner takes one national law variant and its matching lettings variant, not every variant together.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Identify hazards, people exposed, existing controls and further proportionate action before a visit or activity.
Exam cue: Assess the actual visit, people and premises rather than relying on a generic checklist.
Concept 2
Lone-working controls include itinerary, contact, escalation, identity checks, safe meeting choices and authority to leave.
Exam cue: Consider both physical safety and security of keys, data, devices and access information.
Concept 3
Property access should account for occupiers, contractors, keys, alarms, unsafe areas and the condition in which the premises are left.
Concept 4
Incidents and near misses should trigger immediate protection, reporting, evidence preservation and review of the control system.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
