Risk Assessment Description:

Installing satellite communication equipment presents a complex set of site‑specific hazards that can affect worker safety, project timelines and regulatory compliance. This free satellite installation risk assessment template has been created for telecom, broadcasting and data service providers undertaking rooftop or tower installations across the UK.

The template comprehensively addresses the most common risks encountered during satellite works, including heavy lifting of antenna dishes, working at height on rooftops or towers, electrical exposure from power tools and live cables, adverse weather conditions such as high winds and rain, and the danger of falling objects. It also covers occupational health concerns such as noise from power equipment, heat stress during prolonged outdoor tasks, RF (radio‑frequency) exposure when testing transmitters, and slips, trips and uneven surfaces on roofs or temporary platforms.

Each identified hazard is paired with concise, actionable control measures that meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, PUWER, LOLER and relevant British Standards such as BS EN 50566 for RF exposure.

Use this template for:

  • Rooftop antenna mounting – secure lift planning, edge protection and fall arrest systems
  • Ground‑based dish assembly – manual handling protocols and equipment safety checks
  • Electrical connections and testing – lock‑out/tag‑out procedures and qualified personnel requirements
  • Weather‑related work stoppage planning – wind speed limits, rain protocols and safe shutdowns
  • Site housekeeping and traffic management – exclusion zones, signage and debris control

The risks are pre‑scored using a 5×5 risk matrix, providing clear priority levels. The template is fully editable and shareable – you can customise hazards, add site‑specific controls and download the completed assessment as a PDF for your health and safety documentation.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, BS EN 50566 (RF exposure), PUWER and LOLER where lifting equipment is used.

Frequently asked questions

Are these risk assessment templates really free to download?

Yes — completely free. Over 1300 free UK risk assessment templates, free to use forever, no signup required for guests, no paywall. Customise to your workplace and download as a professional HSE-compliant PDF in minutes.

Can I download risk assessment templates in PDF or Word format?

Risk assessments download as a professional, HSE-compliant PDF — ready to print and file as-is. Word (.docx) export is not available for risk assessments, but you can fully customise every hazard, control measure, persons-at-risk entry and rating online before you download.

Are the risk assessment templates HSE-compliant?

Yes. Every template aligns with HSE guidance and the HSE 5-Step Risk Assessment process. They cover the requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, COSHH 2002, Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Work at Height Regulations 2005, and other relevant UK regulations.

What industries do the risk assessment templates cover?

Over 1300 templates across every UK industry — painting, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, concrete, solar panel installation, asbestos, scaffolding, working at height, manual handling, fall protection, hot works, confined space entry, lifting operations, kitchen fitting, plumbing, drywall, tiling, plastering, and many more.

What's the difference between a risk assessment form and a risk assessment template?

A risk assessment form is the blank document; a risk assessment template is a pre-filled form ready to customise. Our generator gives you both — a free interactive form you fill in plus over 1300 pre-written templates you can customise to your specific workplace.

Do I need to create an account to use the risk assessment templates?

No — guests can generate and download risk assessments for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save documents to your dashboard, edit them later, or share them for digital signatures.

Can I customise the risk assessment templates to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Edit hazards, control measures, persons at risk, likelihood and severity ratings, PPE requirements, and review schedules. Each template is a starting point you tailor to your specific operation.

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

The number of risks (hazards) you can include in one assessment depends on your plan: guests get up to 3 risks, Free accounts up to 5 risks, Standard up to 15 risks, Pro unlimited risks, and Enterprise unlimited risks per assessment. You can add and preview every risk in a template, then tick the ones to include up to your plan limit — upgrade any time for more. See our pricing page for the full plan comparison.

Are these risk assessment templates valid for UK construction work?

Yes. Our construction-specific risk assessment templates align with HSE construction guidance, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Templates cover scaffolding, working at height, concrete pouring, excavation, roofing, electrical installation, and more.

How often should I update my 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.

Can I use these risk assessment templates for self-employed work?

Yes. Self-employed workers are required to assess risks to themselves and anyone affected by their work. Our templates are suitable for sole traders, contractors, and small businesses.

Do you have RIDDOR-aligned risk assessment templates?

Yes. Several templates cover RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013) requirements — including accident reporting and investigation risk assessments. All RA templates support incident logging and review.
