Office Risk Assessment Example

Office Risk Assessment Template

A practical office risk assessment template for recording common hazards and control measures in office-based work environments.

This template is intended to help small businesses and low-risk organisations document typical office health and safety risks in a clear and structured way. It provides a starting point for assessing routine office activities and recording suitable controls relevant to administrative and desk-based workplaces.

It is best suited to offices and similar low-risk environments where activities are largely clerical, computer-based or customer-facing without significant physical risk. Typical issues may include slips and trips, housekeeping, electrical equipment, workstation use, access routes, storage, welfare and general workplace arrangements.

Who this document is for

This template is suitable for employers, managers and responsible persons who need a practical starting point for preparing an office risk assessment.

Important

This template is not automatically suitable and sufficient for every workplace. It must be reviewed and adapted to reflect the actual office layout, work activities, equipment, staffing arrangements and any specific risks present before use.

Where office-based work includes higher-risk activities or non-standard conditions, additional assessment may be required.
