Basic Risk Assessment Template HIRA
by Margaret Breytenbach, from the Community
This basic risk assessment template helps teams identify hazards, evaluate likelihood and consequence, and choose effective control measures before starting work. It guides users through hazard and risk identification, initial and residual risk ratings, and a clear risk level with values. The checklist aligns with the hierarchy of controls including elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and PPE, and captures descriptions of controls and recommended additional measures. Sections include task details, safety team, signatures, and completion to support accountability and compliance across worksites and industries.
