HIRA: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
by Stephen Hoey, from the Community
Use this HIRA checklist to systematically identify operational and process hazards, evaluate severity and likelihood, calculate risk ratings, and define control measures. Record existing controls, add additional actions, and reassess residual risk to determine whether work can proceed. Includes sections for permits to work, COSHH, method statements, and sign-offs from assessors and supervisors. Ideal for construction and field operations but adaptable to any workplace.
