WHS Risk Assessment Template

by Craig Corner, from the Community

10+

This WHS risk assessment template guides inspectors through identifying hazards such as asbestos, mold, electrocution, fumes, black water contamination, heat stress, falling objects, falls, confined spaces, sharp objects, and fire. Assess consequence and likelihood using a risk matrix, then record controls including PPE and safe work practices for heights, excavations, ladders, and scaffolds. Document escalation steps, signage and barricades, and post-control risk ratings, then sign off.

WHS Risk Assessment and Control Form
Use this WHS risk assessment and control form to identify job tasks, list hazards and associated risks, rate likelihood and consequence with a risk matrix, and record existing and additional controls. Capture approvals, responsibilities, and signatures before work continues. Ideal for construction and field operations seeking consistent WHS documentation. Always validate the template against local requirements.

NCC CPT Dynamic Risk Assessment Template
This dynamic risk assessment template helps teams observe tasks, identify hazards and persons at risk, and score likelihood and consequence using a risk matrix. Record initial and residual risk ratings, capture photos, and apply the hierarchy of controls, including elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and PPE. Add recommended actions, references, and signatures to complete the assessment and document risk controls on site.

Excavation Risk Assessment Checklist
This excavation risk assessment template helps teams identify and control hazards during trenching and digging work. Use it to log hazards such as impact with underground services, crushing, falls from height and falling objects, reduced stability of nearby structures, vehicle collisions, hazardous substances in the ground, and access or egress issues. Rate severity and likelihood using a 5x5 risk matrix, then record controls and further actions. The template includes roles for assessor and participants, sign offs, and guidance to improve site safety for construction and civil works.

Template
Operational Risk Assessment Template
Use this operational risk assessment template to capture hazards by job step, evaluate intrinsic risk (consequence and likelihood), document existing controls, and calculate residual risk. Record risk IDs, outcomes, and scores, define future planned controls, and determine acceptability of risk. Includes evaluation and sign-off, WHS risk register updates, and communication to relevant teams to ensure ongoing monitoring and action tracking.
