Document background
The Livery Yard Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required under Danish health and safety regulations for equestrian facilities operating in Denmark. This document serves as both a legal compliance tool and a practical management resource, essential for identifying and mitigating risks in day-to-day operations. It addresses various aspects including horse handling, facility maintenance, employee safety, and client protection, while ensuring compliance with the Danish Working Environment Act and relevant EU directives. The assessment should be regularly updated and reviewed, particularly when there are significant changes to the facility or operations. It forms a crucial part of the yard's safety management system and may be required for insurance purposes, local authority inspections, and demonstrating due diligence in maintaining a safe environment for all parties involved in the yard's operations.
