If your company completes a range of work activities you maybe have or need a stack of risk assessments. General workplace RAs, task-specific RAs, COSHH assessments for hazardous substances. Most managers know they need them. Few want to spend their Monday writing them. To assist with this we've just added a substantial batch of new example risk assessments to alphaZ-documents, and with our remote support service we can prepare and provide bespoke risk assessments to cover your operational activities.

Sample Risk Assessments - What's New on alphaZ documents

The Examples library on alphaZ documents has been expanded with fresh general risk assessments and COSHH assessments covering the hazards and substances most workplaces actually deal with. These sit alongside the existing templates and are ready to download, review, and adapt. They're written using the F-HS20A and F-HS5 forms which are simple to use and are fully ISO compliant.

If you want a starting point rather than a blank template, the samples are your fastest route to getting started with Risk Assessments and the full library of examples are available with a subscription as well as support time to get any other assessments prepared.

Bespoke Risk Assessment Preparation Included

The samples get you most of the way. The last stretch - making the assessment actually fit your site, your substances, your people - is where most organisations stall. That's the part our risk assessment service handles.

As part of our remote support service (also included with alphaZ subscription) we can prepare bespoke general risk assessments and COSHH assessments for your specific activities. You tell us the task or the substance, provide the SDS where relevant, and we return a completed assessment in the correct format, aligned with ISO 45001 and your health and safety management system. No template wrestling, no guessing at control measures, no blank-page problem.

Why a Proper Risk Assessment Service Matters

A generic risk assessment downloaded off the internet may not cover all your activities and could miss significant hazards that should be included and covered by the risk assessment.

A well prepared risk assessment should identify and list all the potential hazards, and detail the real control measures in place, and provide an objective overview of the inherent and residual risk rating. This should be completed by a competent person but our service can greatly enhance and speed up this process by providing an example that includes a comprehensive listing of hazards and best practice controls all of which can be easily edited for your operations.
