Based on HSE guidance for risk assessment at work, this workplace risk assessment template can be used by employers, owners, and managers to do the following: 1) Decide on the focus of the workplace risk assessment by stating the goal, scope, and other important details (when and where workplace risk assessment will be performed), 2) Identify hazards, risks caused by the hazards, and who might be harmed by these risks, 3) Evaluate risks by estimating likelihood and consequences of risk and using the risk matrix provided to identify risk levels (high, medium, low), 4) Develop effective risk control measures when hazards cannot be eliminated, and 5) Specify how often the workplace risk assessment will be reviewed.
This risk assessment template includes a risk matrix with consequence and likelihood of hazard injury and hierarchy of controls. Identify hazards involved, select the severity, likelihood and risk rating. Select the appropriate control measure from the hierarchy of controls and provide additional comments and supporting evidence. This template can be easily modified to include additional risk rating criteria appropriate for your workplace.
Use this template to identify workplace hazards, assess initial risk ratings, control measures and residual risk ratings.
