Construction Risk Assessment Templates

Effective risk assessment is the foundation of safe construction work. Before tasks begin, hazards must be identified, risk levels estimated and appropriate controls selected so that workers, contractors and the public are protected.

BlueSafe provides a curated collection of Construction Risk Assessment templates designed for builders, site supervisors, engineers and trades operating in residential, commercial and civil construction.

These templates help you complete structured risk assessments for construction activities, either alongside or prior to developing Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).

What’s Included in Construction Risk Assessment Templates?

Each Construction Risk Assessment template typically includes:

  • sections to describe the task, location and responsible persons
  • hazard identification prompts for construction-related risks
  • risk rating tables and definitions
  • fields to record existing and additional control measures
  • residual risk assessment after controls are applied
  • sign-off areas for supervisors and key personnel

These documents can be used for project planning meetings, toolbox talks and WHS file records.

When to Use Construction Risk Assessments

Construction Risk Assessment templates may be used for:

  • planning new projects and stages of work
  • assessing non-routine or complex activities
  • reviewing existing work methods when incidents or changes occur
  • supporting SWMS documents and project WHS plans

Using a consistent risk assessment format helps demonstrate due diligence and improves decision-making around controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Construction Risk Assessment template? ▼
A Construction Risk Assessment template helps you identify hazards, assess risk levels and record control measures for construction activities before work starts.
Do I still need a SWMS if I have a Risk Assessment? ▼
Yes. A Risk Assessment does not replace a SWMS where high risk construction work (HRCW) is involved. Both documents work together in a WHS system.
Can these Construction Risk Assessment templates be customised? ▼
Yes. All templates are provided in Microsoft Word and can be edited to reflect your specific tasks, site conditions and controls.
Who uses Construction Risk Assessment templates? ▼
Builders, supervisors, project managers and contractors use these templates to plan work, consult with workers and demonstrate that risks have been considered and controlled.
