Downloadable Risk Assessment

If you are planning to move into commercial landscaping or maintenance your company will be required to provide a risk assessment document for the contracts officer to view (he might also request a copy for file).

Download this template document to modify for your business use. It may not be exhaustive so be advised that you may need to add sections to reflect any special needs of a contract.

Landscape Juice accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or legality of this document and you are strongly recommended to seek advice from a lawyer.

Wow phil you have been busy. Recently had to do one of these with guidance from the HSE. Client accepted it as extremely comprehensive but their H&S officer wasn't happy - never found out why as he broke his arm and never got back.(there's an irony in there somewhere!) We have another job with the same client so I reckon I'll use your format this time.
Very useful. Thanks

Hopefully I can remove Grave digging from the Risk Assessment unless it digging my own!

Nice document Phil.

Yes, you might need to take grave digging out :)

I produced these doc. in 2000 for my company. I decided at the time that I would cover all eventualities just in case.

The HSE has created a set of example risk assessments and example health and safety policy.

Full details on their risk management page.

Hi Phil, 

This is great but the bits on Soft and Hard landscaping seem to be missing, have you still got those sections to hand?

Thanks.
