Construction Services Risk Assessment
This fully completed construction services risk assessment example has been prepared by a qualified health and safety professional. It covers a typical range of hazards, risks and associated control measures for construction, maintenance, refurbishment and civil engineering activities and can be used as a starting point when developing your own risk assessment documentation.
What Does This Construction Services Risk Assessment Cover?
This risk assessment identifies the key hazards associated with construction services including;
- Falls from height — operatives working on scaffolding, platforms, roofs and using access equipment
- Falling objects — tools, materials and debris falling from height
- Manual handling — lifting and positioning of construction materials, plant components and tooling
- Slips, trips and falls at ground level — uneven ground, excavations, trailing cables and wet surfaces
- Electrical hazards — contact with buried or overhead services and use of temporary electrical supplies
- Hazardous substances — exposure to silica dust, cement dust, wood dust, solvents and construction chemicals
- Plant and vehicle movements — construction vehicles and plant operating on and around site
Each hazard includes an inherent risk rating ranging from Moderate to Substantial, and a comprehensive listing of applicable control measures covering areas such as;
- Avoidance of work at height and use of ground-level pre-fabrication where practicable
- Scaffolding inspection, guard rails, toe boards and opening protection
- Safety harnesses, lanyards and anchor points where collective protection is impracticable
- Exclusion zones, debris nets, fan gantries and tool lanyards
- Mechanical lifting aids, manual handling training and team lift procedures
- Services surveys, overhead line management and electrical isolation procedures
- COSHH assessments, wet cutting, on-tool extraction and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE)
- Site traffic management plans, pedestrian and plant segregation, banksman deployment
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 — improving clarity and helping to highlight risks and mandatory controls.
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 construction services risk assessment template is suitable for health and safety advisers, health and safety managers, site supervisors, contractors and any employer with a duty to assess risks associated with construction activities. 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.
