Take 5 Pre-task Risk Assessment Checklist
Use this Take 5 pre-task risk assessment checklist to stop and think before starting work. Prompt workers to confirm training and documentation, assess the job site, and identify hazards such as atmospheric, chemical, electrical, environmental, gravitational, manual handling, lighting, noise, pressure, radiation, and thermal risks. Record photos, note likelihood and priority, define control measures, and assign corrective actions with owners and due dates. Verify that hazards are controlled or removed, then capture worker and supervisor signatures for completion. Ideal for teams in high-risk industries to standardize pre-task risk checks and improve safety outcomes.
