Screeding and Floor Levelling Risk Assessment
This fully completed screeding and floor levelling risk assessment example has been prepared by a qualified health and safety professional. It covers a typical range of hazards associated with traditional sand and cement screed, liquid flow screed, self-levelling compounds, power floating, and surface preparation including grinding, and can be used as a starting point when developing your own risk assessment documentation.
What Does This Screeding and Floor Levelling Risk Assessment Cover?
This risk assessment identifies the key hazards associated with screeding and floor levelling including;
- Cement and chemical burns from prolonged skin contact with wet screed, compound, and cement-based materials
- Dust inhalation from bag mixing, spray application, and surface grinding causing respiratory irritation
- Manual handling injuries from carrying heavy bags of screed and operating pump and mixing equipment
- Slips on freshly screeded and wet-compound surfaces during and after application
- Musculoskeletal disorders from prolonged bending, stooping, and kneeling during hand finishing
- Noise from power floats, pumps, and grinding equipment causing hearing damage
Each hazard includes an inherent risk rating and a listing of applicable control measures covering areas such as;
- Nitrile gloves, barrier cream, waterproof kneeling pads, and skin surveillance for cement contact
- FFP2 respirators and mechanical mixing with dust suppression during bag emptying
- Pump delivery and appropriate bag sizes to reduce manual handling distances
- Slip-resistant footwear and wet floor signage during and after screed application
- Hearing protection and noise risk assessment for power float and grinding operations
A residual risk rating is then assigned to each hazard, demonstrating how effective risk management can be used to reduce the 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 Screeding and Floor Levelling Risk Assessment Template Suitable For?
This screeding and floor levelling risk assessment template is suitable for health and safety advisers, screeding contractors, site managers, and any employer with a duty to assess risks under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002. 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.
