10+

Use this fall hazard assessment template to identify work at height risks, evaluate access methods, distance to edge, and hazards such as floor openings, skylights, wind, and slippery or sloped surfaces. Document hierarchy of controls from elimination and passive measures to restraint and arrest systems, confirming stopping distance is less than fall height. Add diagrams of the work area, record duration, frequency, exposed personnel, and incident history, then determine overall risk with the matrix. Capture occupational safety and supervisor reviews to close out the assessment.

This working at height risk assessment template helps teams plan and document safe work at height. Capture task details, platform height and duration, and select access equipment such as ladders, podium steps, or MEWPs. Evaluate task, environment, and individual factors, including fragile surfaces, lighting, ground conditions, posture constraints, and training needs. Record controls like supervision, instruction, fall protection, and pre-use inspections. Add additional measures, assign responsibility, set due dates, and outline emergency and rescue plans to reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
