Pre Work Risk Assessment

by mohamed mosalam, from the Community

This pre work risk assessment checklist helps teams identify hazards and controls before starting any job. It covers routine maintenance, emergency breakdowns, and commissioning activities, with prompts for permits to work, supplementary risk assessments, and attachments. Hazards addressed include vehicle movement, dust, noise, slips and trips, falling objects, manual handling, working at height, electrical panel and device work, live plant work, and use of ladders, tools, and trailing leads. The checklist also captures PPE requirements such as hard hats, safety footwear, RPE, eye and hearing protection, and includes LOTO readiness and sign off by the service engineer and site representative.
