V4 Pre-Start Risk Assessment Checklist
This V4 Pre-Start Risk Assessment Checklist helps teams identify site- and task-specific hazards before work begins and document the control measures required to reduce risk. It covers common risks such as electrical work, manual handling, working at height, battery work, slips, trips and falls, dust, fire, asbestos, sharp edges, power tools, confined spaces, noise, temperature extremes, and nearby contractors. The template prompts you to record hazards, select or define controls, hold a pre-start briefing, and capture worker acknowledgments via signatures. Use it to verify all controls are in place, communicate responsibilities, and decide whether to proceed or stop work and seek assistance.
