A risk assessment template PDF that arrives blank is filled at a desk from memory; one that is filled before it becomes a PDF is the record. The risk assessment template on this site takes the task, the hazards from the walk, who is at risk, the controls and the residual risk, and prints the assessment to PDF from the browser with the significant findings, the author, the date and the review. 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. Free, without an account; the paid product keeps the PDF against the job.
What is on the PDF
The header, the numbered rows with eight columns, the significant findings, the signatures and the review date. 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.
Filled first
Enter the figures on a phone at the site if you like; the PDF is printed from them. A blank template downloaded is the generic assessment a site manager returns. Filling it at the site is what makes the hazards the site's.
Printing
From the browser, for the file and the briefing. No account, no card, no watermark; the same document the paid product keeps. The version number prints on the page so the PDF can be placed in a sequence when a later one replaces it.
Keeping
In its version against the job, with the method and the review. 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.
