Tool 4 of the Guidelines contains a series of risk assessment templates for post-primary schools.  The templates list some of the most common hazards identified in the school environment and their associated risks.  The templates also list a range of control measures that could be in place to eliminate such hazards or reduce their risks. Click on Tool 4 to view further information and guidance on the risk assessment templates.

Note: the following templates contain a non-exhaustive list of hazards and risks present in your school. It may therefore be necessary to use the blank template provided for those hazards not specifically dealt with. These templates should form a good foundation for identifying hazards, assessing risks and implementing controls. However, you must also pay close attention to your school environment and identify and write down other hazards and controls that you have in place or are required to be put in place. Each of the 69 templates listed below are interactive and may be downloaded and completed as required.
