Plant Risk Assessment Form

The Plant Risk Assessment Form helps businesses identify potential hazards associated with plant equipment and implement effective safety control measures.

It records the workers consulted, the plant's details and the operator's licence or competency, and sets out a risk matrix, the action for each risk score and the hierarchy of controls. Twenty hazards of plant, from entanglement and crushing to noise and roll-away, each have tick lists of what applies and of the control measures in place, with inherent and residual risk ratings. It ends with a review register and approval.

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