About this template

The Risk Assessment Form provides a structured approach to identifying workplace hazards, evaluating risk levels, and implementing appropriate controls to protect workers. Also known as Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or Job Safety Analysis (JSA), this template breaks jobs down into steps, identifies hazards in each step, and applies the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE) to reduce risks to acceptable levels. Risk assessments are fundamental to proactive safety management, required by ISO 45001 and recommended by OSHA, enabling organizations to prevent incidents before they occur through systematic hazard identification and control.

01

Key features

  • Job task breakdown into sequential steps
  • Hazard identification for each job step
  • Risk rating matrix (likelihood × severity)
  • Control measures following hierarchy of controls
  • Residual risk evaluation after controls applied
  • Responsible persons and implementation timeline
02

How to use it

  1. Select job or task for risk assessment
  2. Break job down into individual steps or tasks
  3. Identify all potential hazards associated with each step
  4. Rate likelihood and severity to calculate initial risk level
  5. Develop control measures using hierarchy of controls
  6. Re-assess residual risk after controls are implemented
