This simple risk assessment checklist provides a no-fuss, easy-to-use format to pinpoint hazards, assess their severity, and document mitigation actions without having to dive into complex frameworks. It’s ideal for fast-paced environments where teams juggle safety responsibilities alongside daily operations, such as in warehouses or hospitality venues.

In a report by Forrester, 41% of organizations said they faced three or more critical risk events within just 12 months, proving that even everyday operations carry hidden threats. This checklist gives you a fast way to spot issues like blocked fire exits, unstable shelving, or trip hazards. For more specialized needs, you can also check out our fire risk assessment, HSE risk assessment, or construction risk assessment templates.

Frequently asked questions

How do you start conducting a simple risk assessment?

The process should begin with a walkthrough of the workplace to identify visible and potential hazards. This includes consulting frontline staff, reviewing recent incident reports, and evaluating routine tasks. Starting with observation ensures that the assessment reflects real conditions and captures day-to-day operational risks.

How can small businesses conduct effective risk assessments without a dedicated safety team?

Small businesses can designate a trained team member to carry out the assessment using a structured checklist. Involving staff in identifying hazards, documenting findings clearly, and prioritizing follow-up actions allows smaller teams to maintain safety standards without the need for full-time specialists.

How should you prioritize risks in a basic workplace assessment?

Rank risks based on the likelihood of occurrence and potential severity of harm. Using a risk matrix allows teams to allocate resources effectively by addressing high-impact, high-likelihood hazards first while still monitoring lower-priority issues.

Where are low-level workplace hazards most commonly overlooked?

Hazards are often overlooked in areas considered routine, such as walkways, storage zones, or during manual handling. Overfamiliarity with these tasks can lead to complacency. Repetitive strain risks, poor lighting, or minor obstructions frequently go unreported without regular, focused assessments.
