Pre-Task Risk Assessment (PTRA) Template

This Pre-Task Risk Assessment (PTRA) template helps teams evaluate job risks and verify controls before work begins. It guides users to review procedures and permits, check worker competence and PPE, confirm isolation and lockout, and inspect tools and the work area. The checklist prompts hazard identification across key categories such as process safety, transportation, occupational health, high‑risk machinery, working at heights, electricity, confined spaces, structural integrity, fire ignition sources, security, product quality, liquid bodies, and explosives. It also reinforces safe behaviors including housekeeping, manual handling, line‑of‑fire awareness, and journey management. Use this template to capture deviations, assign corrective actions, and document whether the task can proceed safely.
