by Gillian Huppler, from the Community

Use this point of work risk assessment for civils to plan and document safe methods before excavation and trenching. The template helps teams identify hazards such as slips, trips, falls, working near highways, overhead and buried services, dust, vibration, noise, manual handling, mechanical lifting, and confined spaces. Record CAT and Genny checks, permits to dig, traffic management and signage, PPE, and environmental controls including COSHH, spill prevention, and protection of trees, hedgerows, and waterways. Capture site setup, roles, agreed controls, and sign-off to ensure every crew understands the safe system of work.

Point of Work Risk Assessment (On Site)
This on-site Point of Work Risk Assessment template helps operatives verify pre-start requirements and control risks before work begins. Part 1 covers readiness checks such as reviewing the surveyor’s POWRA, competence, correct tools and documentation, PPE, PAT-tested power tools, inspected working-at-height equipment, cable location (cat and genny), and gas detector availability. Part 2 guides hazard identification across slips and trips, falls from height, chemicals, electricity, dust and fumes, noise and vibration, vehicles, confined spaces, asbestos, adverse weather, and risks to others, with notes for additional controls. The template concludes with operative sign-off and an end-of-job review to capture improvements and any new hazards.
