Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Identifying hazards in office environments
  • Verifying compliance with health and safety legislation
  • Ensuring appropriate control measures are in place
  • Documenting findings for corrective action

This checklist supports compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and relevant HSE guidance on office safety.

How to use: Conduct a systematic walk‑through of the office, answering each question with Yes, No or N/A. Record observations, assign responsibility for remedial actions, and note any required corrective measures. Review the completed checklist during safety meetings, file it as evidence of compliance, and schedule follow‑up inspections to ensure ongoing safety.

This tool also aids in maintaining accurate safety records for insurance purposes, supports audit readiness, and encourages a proactive safety culture among all staff. By regularly reviewing the findings, organisations can identify trends, prioritize improvements, and demonstrate continuous compliance with UK health and safety obligations.

Utilising this checklist regularly enables organisations to track safety performance over time, pinpoint recurring hazards, plan targeted interventions, and fulfil insurance and regulatory audit requirements, thereby fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

By completing this checklist you help create a safer, healthier workplace, demonstrate due diligence under UK health and safety law.

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999; HSE Office Safety Guidance.
