Free Plant Risk Assessment Templates

This library lists our free plant risk assessment templates A–Z by machine. Each one helps you identify the hazards of a specific item of plant, rate the risk and record the controls you will use.

Part 5.1 of the model WHS Regulations places specific duties on PCBUs who manage, design, supply or install plant. Hazards such as entanglement, crushing, falling objects, noise and hydraulic failure must be identified and controlled using the hierarchy of control. A documented plant risk assessment shows how you reached those decisions and gives operators and maintainers a clear reference.

Plant owners, hire companies, workshop managers and WHS advisers use these templates when new plant arrives, after modifications or an incident, and at regular review dates. Combine them with the matching SOP and pre-start checklist for a complete set of plant records.
