In the construction industry, ensuring the safety of workers and the successful completion of projects is a top priority for every company. One of the essential documents often required by clients is a plant risk assessment.
These assessments enable us to identify potential hazards associated with machine operation, allowing for the implementation of proper safety measures to reduce accidents and safeguard workers and the surrounding environment.
In this blog, we aim to share with you a FREE template for building your plant risk assessments to enhance safety practices on construction sites. Our template is designed to simplify the risk assessment process.
Here's a quick rundown of how to use it:
Section 1: Machine General Specifications & Document Control
The first section of the template requires you to provide details about the machine, including its type, model, year of manufacturing, etc. This information is crucial as it provides context to assess the specific risks associated with the asset type.
Additionally, we'll capture the details of the person conducting the risk assessment, and any revisions will be documented here for accountability.
Section 2: Risk Matrix
This table shows us how risky each situation is based on its consequences and likelihood. It's like a traffic light for safety – green means go, yellow means caution, and red means stop and reassess. You will need to assess your own risk ratings and determine what to fill out.
Section 3: Risk Rating Table
In this table, we outline the risk management actions in place for identified risks with different classification levels. While this template provides a generic framework, the actions in place can vary based on company policies and the health and safety plan in place.
Section 4: Risk VS Consequence Table
This section of the plant risk assessment template outlines the possible consequences from different perspectives based on the occurrence of any risk with their differential ranking, from environmental to personal and business perspectives.
Section 5: Hazards Table
In this table, we list all hazards associated with the machine, describe them in detail, and assign a preliminary risk rating based on their likelihood and consequences. Every identified risk needs to have associated control measures in place to mitigate its occurrence and risk rating, which also need to be calculated once the control measures are listed in this section.
By using our simple plant risk assessment template, you can streamline the process of conducting risk assessments and ensure that all potential hazards are identified and mitigated.
