Questions

Do I need a written risk assessment?

In Great Britain every employer must assess risks. If you employ five or more people you must also write down the significant findings — and a written assessment is good practice for everyone.

Does it work in Google Docs?

Yes. Upload the .docx to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs. It also opens in Pages and LibreOffice.

Is this legal advice?

No. It's a template and examples to help you record your own assessment. Specialist work (asbestos, gas, high-risk sites) needs a competent specialist.

How do I get the files?
