FAQs

A Pre-Work Risk Assessment should be conducted before starting any new task, project, or when there are changes in the work environment, equipment, or procedures.

Typically, supervisors, team leaders, or designated safety officers are responsible for completing the checklist, but all workers should be involved in the risk assessment process.

The checklist covers various areas including work environment, equipment safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), hazardous materials, emergency procedures, and task-specific risks.

The checklist should be reviewed and updated regularly, at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes in work processes, equipment, or regulations.

If risks are identified, appropriate control measures should be implemented immediately. This may include modifying work procedures, providing additional training, or using different equipment or PPE.
