10+

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.

Task Based Risk Assessment
This task based risk assessment template helps teams evaluate workplace tasks, list hazards and exposed persons, and document existing controls. Rate likelihood and impact on a one to five scale to generate a risk number and clear ratings from very low to extreme. Prompt actions to reduce high risks and guide users to complete related assessments for hazardous substances and manual handling when needed. Capture site, location, activity, dates, assessor and assistants, and record review reasons and version history. Plan control measures, select required personal protective equipment, record systems of work and machine guarding, and note specific requirements for eye, hearing, respiratory, hand and foot protection, high visibility clothing and coveralls. Finish with manager sign off and communicate to all relevant persons.
