Machine Guarding Risk Assessment Form

Form · FORM-31349

  • Version 2

The Machine Guarding Risk Assessment Form helps a business identify the physical hazards of machinery, such as moving parts, flying debris, sharp edges and electrical hazards, and plan the controls that reduce them.

It sets out a seven-step procedure for undertaking a risk assessment, a guidance sheet, the hierarchy of controls and a risk matrix. The form records the activity, workplace details, the overall risk rating after controls, the assessor and the workers consulted, then works through machine-guarding tasks from new and used equipment to emergency stops, LOTO permits and decommissioning, each with its hazard, risk, inherent and residual ratings, control measures and responsible person.

It is part of the Health and Safety Manual, whose documents refer to each other.

Written by SafetyDocs safety experts, who have been writing safety documents since 2004.
