HSE Risk Assessment Template

Health and Safety Policy and Risk Assessment Template

Workplaces vary in size, environment, the nature of work performed, the machinery used, and the number of employees. As a result, each workplace presents a unique set of hazards and varying levels of risk.

By using established risk assessment templates and guidance from the HSE, businesses can create relevant and effective Health and Safety Policies and workplace risk assessment records tailored to their specific needs.

In the event of a serious workplace accident, one of the first things HSE investigators will request is a detailed and up-to-date Health and Safety Policy, along with current workplace risk assessment records.

Accidents and illnesses that occur in the workplace and are reported under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) can be reviewed on the HSE website: RIDDOR Regulations.
