Guidance on completing the Risk Assessment: You can complete your risk assessment using the template we provide (it’s based on the one recommended by the British regulator (the HSE) and should be fine for most workplaces). But, you can use any template you like (like your organization’s own format). But whatever you use, you must make sure that you have included all of the right information outlined below to meet the assessment criteria. Risk assessments don’t have to
be perfect or too detailed – they just need to be good enough to help you decide on what to do to control risks. The HSE has lots of examples on their website of what good risk assessments look like for a range of different workplaces (www.hse.gov.uk/risk/). You will have many hazards in your workplace but we only want you to spend around 90 minutes on this assessment. So we want you to limit your risk assessment to just five hazard types.
