Same Day Risk Assessment — Ready in Minutes, Not Days

Need a risk assessment for a job starting today, an emergency callout, or a last-minute site request? Describe the work and Anyrisks produces a fully written, UK-compliant risk assessment in under two minutes — no waiting on a consultant, no booking a slot.

⏱ Job starting in the next hour? You do not need to delay it. Describe the site, task and hazards on your phone and download a completed risk assessment before you arrive.

Is there a legal deadline for producing a risk assessment?

Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR) requires employers and self-employed people to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk before work begins — not at a set number of working days in advance. The law is concerned with whether the assessment is completed before the activity starts, not how quickly it was produced.

In practice, this means an emergency repair, a reactive maintenance callout, or a client request received this morning for a job starting this afternoon all still require an assessment before the work is carried out. If you find yourself asking whether you need a risk assessment for an unplanned job, the answer is generally yes if there is a foreseeable risk of harm.

HSE data consistently shows that unplanned or rushed jobs carry a higher incident rate than planned works, precisely because documentation and control measures get skipped under time pressure. A same-day risk assessment closes that gap — it does not need to take days to be legally and practically valid, it just needs to be completed, specific and in place before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really get a risk assessment the same day?

Yes. Describe the job, site or activity in plain English and Anyrisks produces a fully written, UK-compliant risk assessment in minutes, not days. There is no waiting list, no consultant callback and no booking a slot — you get the PDF and Word document immediately.

Is a same-day risk assessment still legally valid?

Yes. There is no legal requirement for a risk assessment to be produced over a set number of days — Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 simply requires that a suitable and sufficient assessment is carried out before the work takes place. Speed does not affect its legal standing, only the quality and specificity of the content does.

What if a client or contractor needs it before I turn up on site?

Because Anyrisks generates the document in under two minutes, you can produce and send a risk assessment from your phone before you leave your last job, while sat in the van, or the night before an early start — well within most principal contractor or client deadlines.

Will a rushed risk assessment be lower quality?

No. The document is generated in full, not from a generic blank template — it references the specific hazards, controls and regulations relevant to the job you describe. Speed comes from removing admin time, not from cutting corners on content.

Can I use this for an emergency or unplanned job that starts today?

Yes. This is exactly the situation it is built for — reactive maintenance callouts, emergency repairs, urgent access requests and last-minute site visits all need a documented risk assessment before work starts, and Anyrisks lets you produce one on the spot.

Do I need to create an account or speak to anyone first?

No. There is no signup call, no quote request and no back-and-forth. You describe the job, pay £29, and download your PDF and Word files straight away.

What if the assessment is not right?

Anyrisks offers a money-back guarantee within 24 hours if you are not satisfied with the assessment produced. You can also edit the Word document yourself for any last-minute adjustments before the job starts.

Is £29 for one assessment or a subscription?

It is a one-off £29 payment per risk assessment. There is no subscription, no monthly fee and nothing to cancel — pay once, download instantly, use it for that job.
