Interactive Risk Assessments for Post-Primary Schools

Note: The following risk assessment templates contain a non-exhaustive list of all the hazards and risks present in your school. It may therefore be necessary to use the blank template (No. 74) provided at the back of Part C for those hazards not specifically dealt with. These templates should form a good foundation for identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing control measures. However, schools should also pay close attention to their own school environment and identify and write down other hazards that may be present, and control measures that may be in place or are required to be implemented.

See page 56-68 of the Guidelines for information on how the risk assessment templates work, including a sample template on page 60-61. Suggested templates that can be completed for each subject area or work activity can be found on page 64-67.
