Risk Assessment Description:

This ferry passenger hospitality risk assessment template is designed for ferry crew, hospitality staff and service managers who need a quick, compliant way to assess the hazards associated with onboard passenger service. Whether you’re serving meals on a moving deck, handling trolley carts during peak boarding, or managing crowd flow in tight corridors, this ferry passenger hospitality risk assessment provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise.

The template covers all key risks for ferry hospitality, including slips on wet decks, manual handling of service trolleys, crowd congestion, falls from deck edges, motion‑induced loss of balance, burns from hot drinks, struck‑by moving carts, noise from engines, chemical exposure to cleaning agents, fire from portable heaters, lone working in isolated service areas, and blocked emergency routes.

Use this template for:

Service risk planning – quickly identify hospitality‑related hazards before each voyage.
Staff briefings – provide clear, actionable control measures to the crew.
Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Work at Height Regulations 2005, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering safe manual handling, slip‑resistant flooring, crowd management, personal protective equipment, equipment inspection, and emergency procedures. The risk matrix uses a standard 5×5 likelihood‑severity scoring, with controlled severity always matching the initial severity as required by HSE guidance.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures to match your vessel conditions, and share with your team.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (General duties of employers) – https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/37/section/2.

How many risks can I add to a single risk assessment?

Whenever there is reason to believe the assessment is no longer valid - after workplace changes, near-misses, accidents, new equipment, new substances, or new processes. HSE guidance recommends an annual formal review at minimum.

What is the HSE 5-step risk assessment process?

Step 1: Identify the hazards. Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how. Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions. Step 4: Record findings and implement them. Step 5: Review the assessment and update if necessary. Our interactive generator walks you through all 5 steps.
