A risk assessment example PDF is worth having when the example is your own task, and the risk assessment template on this site prints one: enter the task, the hazards from the walk, who is at risk, the controls and the residual risk, and the assessment prints to PDF from the browser with the significant findings, the author, the date and the review. The HSE's guidance, cited below, gives risk assessment as five steps: identify hazards, assess the risks, control the risks, record your findings, review the controls, and says that if you employ 5 or more people you must record your significant findings. Free, without an account; a downloaded example shows someone else's site, and the site manager can tell.
What the example shows
Rows numbered per hazard with who, how, likelihood, severity, control, residual risk and action; the significant findings as a block; the header and the review. The shape is what a downloaded example teaches; the content is what yours supplies.
Why your own
The hazards on a downloaded example are the author's site's. A site manager reading a RAMS knows their own site and recognises a hazard list that was never walked. Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, cited below, requires every employer to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of their employees, and regulation 3(6) requires an employer with five or more employees to record the significant findings and any group of employees especially at risk.
