Pay safely

We never take payments

RuleMind only explains and links to the official service.

Check the address

Official payment sites are on gov.uk, tfl.gov.uk, a council's site or the operator's site named on the official page. Look-alike sites often appear first in search results and can add large fees.

Free crossings stay free

The Severn bridges, Forth, Erskine and Cleddau crossings have no toll. A request to pay for them is not genuine.

What the law asks for

Risk assessment

Every employer and self-employed person must assess the risks of their work. With 5 or more employees, you must write down the significant findings.

HSE: managing risks ↗

Method statement

Not named in the law, but main contractors usually ask for one before you start. It shows how the job will be done safely, step by step.

HSE: construction ↗

CDM 2015

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations apply to all building work, including jobs for homeowners, and set duties for clients, designers and contractors.

HSE: CDM 2015 ↗

Templates are a starting point. HSE expects every risk assessment to reflect the actual job, site and people involved.
