At Risg Solutions, we understand the importance of protecting vulnerable workers and are committed to providing customised health and safety solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Types of Vulnerable Workers
Vulnerable workers encompass a diverse range of individuals, including older and younger employees, pregnant women, people with disabilities, migrant workers, gig, agency and temporary workers, lone workers, those new to the job and those working from home. You can view the list and associated guidance on the HSE website.
These workers may face heightened risks in the workplace, ranging from physical hazards to discrimination and harassment. Therefore, employers must proactively identify and address potential vulnerabilities within their workforce.
Tailored Risk Assessments
One of the critical steps in protecting vulnerable workers is conducting thorough risk assessments tailored to their specific circumstances. This involves identifying potential hazards and assessing their impact on different workforce segments.

An Inclusive Culture
Fostering a workplace culture of inclusion and respect is essential for protecting vulnerable employees from potential discrimination and harassment. Employers should promote diversity and equity in the workplace and provide training to raise awareness about the rights and needs of vulnerable employees.

Protecting vulnerable workers is not just a legal or moral obligation – it’s a strategic imperative for any organisation committed to fostering a safe, inclusive and productive work environment. Employers can create a workplace where everyone can thrive by taking proactive steps to identify and address vulnerable employees' unique needs and challenges.
