against the risks from the hazards you
listed? For example, have you

What more could you reasonably do for

those risks which you found were not
adequately controlled?

Look only for the hazards which you could

reasonably expect to result in significant
harm under the conditions in your work

There is no need to list individuals by name

just think about groups of people doing
similar work or who may be affected, for

List person who will do the work for

immediate actions (for example erect
barriers or notice)

place. Use the following examples as a

guide:

Slipping/tripping hazards

training?

Adequate systems or procedures?

Adequate protective equipment

Do the precautions:

Meet the standards set by a legal

requirement?
Represent good practice?
Comply with a recognised industry
standard?
Reduce risk as far as reasonably
practicable?

If so, then the risks are adequately

controlled, but you need to indicate the
precautions you have in place. You may
refer to procedures, manuals, company rules
etc giving this information.
List other risk assessments, if applicable,
for example COSHH, noise etc.

You will need to give priority to those risks

that affect large numbers of people and/or
could result in serious harm. Apply the
principles below when taking further action,
if possible in the following order:

Remove the risk completely

Apply a less risky option
Prevent access to the hazard (for
example by guarding)
Organise work to reduce exposure to
the hazard
Issue personal protective equipment
Provide welfare facilities (for example
washing facilities for removal of
contamination and first aid)
Include immediate short-term actions;
for example erect warning notice
and/or barriers.

List the person responsible for long

term actions (for example arrange
engineering work to remove hazard)
Record the target date for completing
the job

Ensure that the team is briefed on the

precautions.
