Risk assessment

This form may be used alongside our health and safety templates to assess and manage hazards within your business.

Please note: This template is just an example of how a risk assessment might be laid out. It may not suit your needs and, if this is the case, you should create an alternative that covers all the aspects relevant to your situation.

Some web browsers may not display the completed PDF correctly so we recommend you save it to your device and reopen it using a PDF reader (e.g. Adobe Reader). For mobile devices, to edit the PDF, you’ll need a PDF editor app such as Adobe Editor.
