Working on Steep Slopes Risk Assessment Checklist

Steep slopes bring risks of slips, falls, unstable ground and unprotected edges. This checklist gives a structured way to identify the hazards, record the controls and promote safety when working on inclines.

It records the site address, risk assessor, date, job description and supervisor, then works through each hazard with Yes, No and N/A answers and a control measure, from ground surface condition and pitch to weather, training, power lines and mobile plant. A list of example risk controls sits beside it.
