Task Based Risk Assessment

by Tiffany Argent, from the Community

This task based risk assessment template helps teams evaluate workplace tasks, list hazards and exposed persons, and document existing controls. Rate likelihood and impact on a one to five scale to generate a risk number and clear ratings from very low to extreme. Prompt actions to reduce high risks and guide users to complete related assessments for hazardous substances and manual handling when needed. Capture site, location, activity, dates, assessor and assistants, and record review reasons and version history. Plan control measures, select required personal protective equipment, record systems of work and machine guarding, and note specific requirements for eye, hearing, respiratory, hand and foot protection, high visibility clothing and coveralls. Finish with manager sign off and communicate to all relevant persons.

Task-Based Risk Assessment Template
This task-based risk assessment template helps teams identify hazards for specific activities, evaluate who may be exposed, and determine likelihood and severity using a risk matrix. Capture site, activity, issue number, and review purpose, then add hazards such as electricity, moving machinery, manual handling, DSE, COSHH, noise, and work at height. Record existing controls, assign risk ratings, and plan additional measures. Specify required PPE and systems of work, including hearing, eye, respiratory, hand, body, hi vis, and footwear protection with applicable standards, plus permits and machinery guards. Conclude with manager sign off and communication to all relevant personnel.

Culligan Task-Based Risk Assessment
This task-based risk assessment template, created for Culligan operations, helps teams identify hazards, define who is exposed, and evaluate likelihood and impact with a clear risk matrix. Capture existing controls, raise actions to reduce risk, and specify required PPE, including EN-standard hearing, eye, respiratory, hand, head, fall, foot, and hi-vis protection. Supports COSHH and manual handling considerations, machinery guarding, permits to work (e.g., SSW, JSA, work at height), and sign-off to communicate outcomes. Suitable for water treatment and utility environments and adaptable to broader industrial operations.

Task-Based Risk Assessment
Create a structured task-based risk assessment to identify hazards, assess likelihood and impact, and select controls and PPE. Includes hazard lists such as electricity, machinery, manual handling, work at height, COSHH, noise, temperature, a 1-5 risk matrix with automated ratings, prompts to raise corrective actions, and fields for versions, review dates, assessors, and sign-off. Supports permits, SSOW or JSA, and documentation.

General Health and Safety Risk Assessment
Use this general health and safety risk assessment template to identify, evaluate, and control workplace hazards. Capture details for biological, chemical, energy system, environmental, facilities and built environment, machinery and equipment, manual handling and ergonomics, and people-related risks. Assign risk ratings using consequence and likelihood, then select appropriate controls based on the hierarchy of controls including elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and PPE. Add photos, record chemical details, and document recommendations. Monitor and review planned controls, note changes, and track whether further actions are required to reduce risk and improve safety performance.
