Green Circle STOP Risk Assessment

This Green Circle STOP risk assessment template helps teams make a clear go or stop decision before work begins. It guides users to confirm hazards have been identified, controls are in place, and that they remain adequate. Common site risks covered include adverse weather and ground conditions, housekeeping, access and egress, vehicle movements, hazardous substances and COSHH, lifting operations, tools and equipment, noise, dust and vibration, extreme temperatures, isolation of stored energy, working at heights, hot works, dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres, confined spaces, and PPE requirements. The template also provides space to record observations and additional personnel involved, supporting consistent, defensible risk reviews for construction and quarry environments.
