Risk Assessment Description:

This free flexible working risk assessment template is designed for employers, HR managers and occupational health professionals who need a quick, compliant way to assess the hazards associated with flexible work patterns and health‑related adjustments. Whether you’re implementing remote work, staggered shifts, part‑time schedules or phased return‑to‑work arrangements, this adjustments to work patterns risk assessment example provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise.

The template covers all key risks for flexible working, including mental stress and anxiety from isolation, blurred work‑life boundaries, increased screen time leading to musculoskeletal disorders, inadequate home‑based workstation ergonomics, fire and electrical safety of remote equipment, fatigue from irregular hours, reduced supervision and communication breakdowns, and potential discrimination or unequal treatment. It also addresses specific hazards such as poor lighting, trip hazards in home environments, indoor air quality, emergency preparedness, and data protection. Regular risk reviews are essential when work patterns change.

Use this template for:

  • Workplace risk planning – quickly identify flexible‑working related hazards before policy rollout.
  • Employee wellbeing briefings – provide clear guidance on managing stress, ergonomics and work‑life balance.
  • Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to the Equality Act 2010, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Data Protection Act 2018 and HSE Management Standards for Work‑Related Stress.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering ergonomic assessments, mental health support, clear communication protocols, regular breaks, equipment safety checks, cybersecurity guidance and training. 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 conditions, then download as a PDF for records or share with your team.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Equality Act 2010, Data Protection Act 2018, HSE Management Standards for Work‑Related Stress.
