A risk assessment report template is the assessment with a narrative around it, for the reader who is not the crew: a client, an insurer, an accreditation scheme. The scope and the site described. The method used, which is the HSE's five steps cited below. The rows as an appendix. The significant findings explained in sentences. The recommendations with owners and dates. The risk assessment template on this site prints the rows the report is built on, free and without an account.
Scope and site
What was assessed, on which site, on which date, by whom, with whom. The reader who was not there needs the picture before the rows. The scope says which activities and which parts of the site were assessed and, as importantly, which were not, so the reader knows what the report does not cover.
Method
The five steps, and how the walk was done: with the operative, on the date, the areas covered and the areas not. 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.
Findings and recommendations
The significant findings in sentences, each pointing to its row; the recommendations with an owner and a date, which are the action column turned into a list a client can follow up. Each recommendation names who does it and by when.
Appendices and the record
The rows, the photographs, the plant register, the training records. The report kept against the job with the assessment. DailyLogDesk Pro keeps them; the template prints the rows. 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.
