Risk Assessment Builder

A simple starting point for a basic risk assessment, using a standard 5×5 risk matrix. Fill in the details below and each hazard's risk score calculates automatically.

Please note: this tool provides a general starting point only and does not replace a full, site-specific risk assessment carried out by a competent person. BNH Safety & Compliance accepts no liability for actions taken based on assessments generated here. For a proper, tailored assessment, get in touch.

Example — what a completed entry looks like

Hazard
Manual handling of heavy stock from high shelving
Who could be harmed?
Warehouse staff, visitors
Control measures
Mechanical lifting aids provided, manual handling training completed, team lifting required for items over 20kg, shelving reorganised so heaviest items sit at waist height.
Initial Risk
12
High (4 × 3)
Residual Risk
2
Low (2 × 1)

This is just one hazard from a fuller assessment — a real one for a site like this would usually cover several. Use the form below to build your own.
