3. Why should dental practices choose the 4-in-1 service?

• Single visit = less disruption to your clinic.

• Cost-effective vs. booking separate assessments.

• Guaranteed CQC compliance for key areas.

• Actionable reports with prioritized recommendations.

​

4. How often should these assessments be reviewed?

• Fire Risk Assessments: Annually or after major changes.

• Legionella Assessments: Every 2 years (or sooner if risks change).

• Disability/DDA Assessments: When premises or services are modified.

• Workplace Assessments: Annually or after incidents.

​

5. Who conducts the assessments?

Our qualified, experienced assessors specialize in dental practice compliance. They understand CQC requirements and sector-specific risks (e.g., dental unit waterlines for Legionella).

​

6. What happens during a Fire Risk Assessment?

We evaluate:

• Fire exits, alarms, and extinguishers.

• Staff training and evacuation plans.

• Electrical safety (e.g., X-ray equipment storage).
  Compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

​

7. Why is a Legionella Risk Assessment critical for dental practices?

Dental waterlines (DUWLs) are high-risk for Legionella bacteria. We check:

• Water supply temperatures and stagnation risks.

• DUWL maintenance and flushing protocols.

• Hygiene condition of water supply equipment.

• Water sampling for Legionella bacteria analysis at a UKAS registered lab

• Compliance with HSG274 and COSHH Regulations.

​

8. What does a Disability (DDA) Risk Assessment cover?

We ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010, reviewing:

• Wheelchair accessibility (ramps, door widths).

• Emergency evacuation plans for disabled patients/staff (PEEP).

• Hearing induction loop, horizontal and vertical circulation etc.

• Adjustments for visual/hearing impairments.

​

9. What’s included in a Workplace Health & Safety Assessment?

We identify risks under HSE guidelines, such as:

• General Premises Safety

•  Workstation & Equipment Safety

•  Hazardous Substances (COSHH)

•  Manual Handling Risks

•  Sharps & Infection Control Measures

•  Emergency Procedures

•  Training & Documentation

​

10. How long does the 4-in-1 assessment take?

Typically 2–3 hours, depending on practice size. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption.

​

11. What happens if you find non-compliance issues?

You’ll receive a detailed report with:

• Risk severity ratings (high/medium/low).

• Clear corrective actions.

• Follow-up support (optional consultancy).

​

12. Do you provide follow-up or remedial support?

Yes! We offer:

• Post-assessment guidance (phone/email).

• Retainer packages for ongoing compliance.

• Staff training (e.g., fire safety, Legionella control).

​

13. How much does the 4-in-1 assessment cost?

£550.00 with no applicable VAT to pay.
