A risk assessment form example is clearest filled, so this one is a hand-dug service trench in a footpath, four rows, every column completed. The services, the collapse, the edge loading, the public. 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. The risk assessment template on this site prints the same form from your own task, free and without an account; the example below is what a complete row looks like.
Row one: the services
Hazard: striking a buried service. Who: the operatives. How: electrocution, gas, flood. Likelihood without control: possible; severity: fatal. Control: drawings obtained, the line scanned and marked, hand digging with insulated tools within the marked zone. Residual: low. Action: none further; owner, the foreman.
Row two: the collapse
Hazard: trench sides collapsing. Who: the operative in the trench. Severity: fatal. Control: support to the sides as the assessment requires beyond the stated depth, spoil back from the edge, no entry until supported. Residual: low. Action: trench sheets on site before the dig; owner, the foreman; date.
Rows three and four: edge loading and the public
Edge loading: the operative; control, spoil and plant kept back from the edge. The public: pedestrians on the footpath; control, barriers and signage closing the section, a covered walkway where the footpath is narrow. Residual low for both.
The findings and the footer
Significant findings: the services and the collapse. Author, reviewer, date, review date and the trigger events. The method places the scan before the dig and the support before entry. DailyLogDesk Pro keeps the form against the job; the template prints it. From the vendors' own pricing pages, cited below: SafetyCulture lists its Premium plan at $29 per seat per month billed monthly or $24 billed annually, with a free plan for small teams; Contractor Foreman lists its Basic plan at $49 per month for one user. DailyLogDesk Pro is $29 per month for the whole site team.
