Use this template to document a risk assessment to manage health and safety hazards in your workplace. Identify observed potential and existing hazards (e.g biological, chemical, energy, environment, etc.), assess the risk level (consequence, likelihood and risk ratings) and provide necessary control measures. Monitor and review planned control measures and advise if further measures are required. Lastly, provide overall recommendations to avoid and manage risk hazards.
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.
