Demolition Trespass and Unauthorised Access Risk Assessment
This fully completed demolition trespass and unauthorised access risk assessment example has been prepared by a qualified health and safety professional. It covers prevention of unauthorised access by members of the public, children and vandals to demolition sites, partially demolished structures and temporary works, and can be used as a starting point when developing your own risk assessment documentation.
What Does This Risk Assessment Cover?
This risk assessment identifies the key hazards associated with trespass and unauthorised access to demolition sites including;
- Unauthorised access to demolition site — members of the public, particularly children, accessing sites through insecure perimeters and encountering structural instability, falls, hazardous materials and machinery causing fatal or serious injuries
Each hazard includes an inherent risk rating of Substantial, and a comprehensive listing of applicable control measures covering areas such as;
- Solid hoarding at least 2 metres high at all site boundaries with locked gates when unoccupied
- Daily hoarding inspections with immediate repair of damage or displacement
- Night-time security for high-risk demolition sites where trespass is likely
- Warning signs with emergency contact numbers posted at regular intervals
- Immediate enclosure or shoring of partially demolished structures
- Liaison with local authority, police and schools near demolition sites
A residual risk rating is then assigned to each hazard, demonstrating how effective risk management reduces overall risk to a tolerable level.
A Professional, Easy-to-Use Risk Assessment Template
This document uses colour-coded header styles matched to risk ratings, making it quick to read and easy to communicate during toolbox talks and worker training. A built-in risk rating matrix supports consistent evaluation of likelihood and consequence, and hazard pictograms using internationally recognised ISO warning symbols are included alongside relevant hazard entries.
The result is a completed risk assessment that looks professional, reads clearly, and demonstrates a structured and effective approach to risk management.
Who Is This Risk Assessment Template Suitable For?
This demolition trespass risk assessment template is suitable for health and safety advisers, demolition contractors, principal contractors and any employer with a duty to assess risks associated with public safety around demolition sites under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) and the Occupiers Liability Act 1984. It can be implemented as a standalone document or as part of a broader occupational health and safety management system aligned with ISO 45001.
Note: This example risk assessment is supplied for use as guidance only and should be reviewed and completed by a competent person.
