by Daniel Webb, from the Community

10+

This Risk Assessment template helps teams systematically identify hazards, evaluate likelihood and severity (1–5), calculate risk ratings, and document control measures before and after implementation. It covers common workplace risks including deep excavations, demolition, plant and machinery, lifting operations, working at height, COSHH, fire risk, electricity, manual handling, slips and trips, traffic, environmental factors, and more. It prompts for required permits, staff training and communication, and required PPE. The template records who may be harmed (employees, contractors, visitors, public), links relevant documents, tracks versioning and due dates, and includes acknowledgement sign-off fields for verification.

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.
