Managing workplace safety in office environments requires a reliable system for pinpointing risks and keeping your team protected. Our office risk assessment checklist gives you that clarity and structure. Use it to assess areas like electrical safety, workstation ergonomics, trip hazards, and emergency procedures—core concerns for today’s workplace teams.

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injuries each year. With this template, you can proactively spot and address these issues, helping you ensure regulatory compliance and employee well-being. If you need to cover other risk scenarios, check out our dedicated templates for fire, cyber security, or environmental risk assessments.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common hazards found during an office risk assessment?

The most common office hazards include slip and trip risks, poor workstation ergonomics, electrical hazards, obstructed fire exits, and issues with lighting or ventilation. These risks are often overlooked in desk-based environments, but addressing them helps reduce accidents, injuries, and costly disruptions to office operations.

Why do musculoskeletal injuries occur so often in offices?

Musculoskeletal injuries often result from poor posture, unsuitable chairs, or repetitive movements. Preventing them involves providing ergonomic furniture, encouraging regular breaks, and offering training on proper workstation setup. Early intervention reduces discomfort, absenteeism, and long-term health issues for staff.

What should you do if a hazard is identified during an office risk assessment?

If a hazard is found, document it clearly, assess the risk level, and assign responsibility for addressing it. Implement appropriate control measures as soon as possible and communicate changes to all relevant staff. Always follow up to make sure the risk has been effectively managed.

How do you identify less obvious hazards in an office setting?

Look for risks beyond the physical—such as poor lighting, excessive noise, blocked emergency exits, or high stress levels. Speak with staff, review past incident reports, and observe daily routines. Sometimes, risks are hidden in overlooked areas or everyday habits that can create longer-term issues.
