Frequently asked questions

What regulations require businesses to use risk assessment templates?

Most countries have occupational health and safety regulations that mandate risk assessments. For example, the UK’s Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and OSHA’s General Duty Clause both require employers to identify and control workplace risks.

What should you do if a risk assessment template reveals a high-risk hazard?

If your risk assessment template identifies a high-risk hazard, take immediate steps to reduce the risk. This may involve stopping work, implementing new controls, or providing urgent training. Always document the actions you take and revisit the assessment to check if risks have been reduced.

Which steps should you take before starting a risk assessment using a template?

Before starting, gather relevant information about your workplace, tasks, equipment, and any past incident reports. Consult with team members familiar with daily operations. Review recent changes or upcoming projects to make sure your risk assessment addresses current and emerging hazards.

How can you keep your risk assessment template effective over time?

Schedule regular reviews, update your risk assessment after incidents or changes in processes, and involve employees in identifying new risks. With continuous feedback and training, your risk assessment process can stay current and reliable.
