Workplace Risk Assessment
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.

Comprehensive Environmental Risk Assessment Template
Use this comprehensive environmental risk assessment to evaluate any hazards present in your workplace that can cause harm to the surrounding environment. Start with a general problem formulation which states what and who needs to be protected from harm. Next list the hazards observed at work. You may take a photo of the hazards to provide evidence. Record information about the possible effects on the environment if these risks are not mitigated. Also, determine the probability of exposure. Lastly, provide some control measures and the overall risk assessment. Complete the audit by affixing a digital signature.
