This site task risk assessment form is for any works that involve breaking ground. Digging is inherently risky as you cannot see what you are digging into – hitting buried cables and pipes  is a regular occurrence and can have serious consequences.

This risk assessment has been written by a safety professional for you to use on your projects.  We have considered the various hazards your employees and anyone else may be exposed to while carrying out this operation and have entered the  control measures that you may need.

These are only our suggestions. The form is fully editable, you may find that your particular site or location needs different answers, and these forms allow you to fill them in as you need.
