Pre-Start Risk Assessment for Cleaning Sites
by Andrew Gorsuch, from the Community
This pre-start risk assessment template helps cleaning teams identify hazards before work begins. It covers site-specific risks such as exposed wiring, damaged pathways, environmental issues, hazardous materials, working near moving vehicles, and access through unsafe areas. Prompts include sharps risks, isolated work and security, public access, lighting adequacy, outdoor work, evacuation relevance, access to a lockable cleaners room, confined space considerations, eyewash availability for chemical burns, safe waste disposal, clearly marked fire escapes, immunisation requirements, and whether the contract is high risk. Use and customize to suit your site and procedures.
