A risk assessment, also called a JSA, JSEA or task risk assessment, records the hazards of a task and how you control them. If the task is part of high risk construction work, the law requires a SWMS for that work, so use our Working Around Mines & Construction Sites SWMS instead.

Common questions
Do I need a SWMS or a risk assessment for working around mine and construction sites?
On a construction site, a SWMS is legally required when the work is high risk construction work, for example working in an area with movement of powered mobile plant, or next to a road in use. Outside those situations a SWMS isn't mandatory, but you still have to manage the risks, and a risk assessment or JSA is a practical way to record how. Principal contractors and mine operators often ask for one before you go on site. If the job is high risk construction work, use our Working Around Mines & Construction Sites SWMS instead.
Who maintains the plant under this risk assessment?
It's written for workers who work near plant rather than operate it. The plant is provided and maintained by its owner or the principal contractor.
Can I change it?
Yes. It's a Microsoft Word file, so you can add, remove or change any hazard, control or rating, and add your own logo and details.
Does it suit my state?
Yes. It's written to the model WHS laws and suits all states and territories, including Victoria under the OHS Act and Regulations.
What if it doesn't suit my work?
You're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee if it isn't fit for purpose.
