Formal Hazard Assessments

Formal hazard assessments built for how your crew works.

Each formal hazard assessment starts from one our safety experts have already approved for the task. A few plain questions make it yours, and a safety expert reviews every one. From $995, plus GST.

Formal hazard assessment for Ladder Use, page 1: header, risk rating, and steps 1 and 2 with their hazards and controls

  1. Every hazard rated

    Severity times probability, each on a 1 to 3 scale, gives the overall rating. Nothing is left blank.

  2. Controls in order

    Elimination first where the work allows it, then engineering, administrative and PPE, each on its own row.

  3. In the order the work happens

    The task is broken into steps, with each step's hazards beneath it.

  4. Safety or health, marked

    (S) for a safety hazard, (H) for a health hazard, on every line.

  5. Your company in the header

    The positions, equipment and conditions it covers, who assessed it, and whether it is a critical task.

How it works

Four steps, mostly clicks.

  1. Screen: who does each task, with positions across the top and tasks down the side

    Step 1

    Pick your tasks

    Tell us your trades and positions, then tick the tasks your crew does. We suggest them from your trade.

  2. Screen: Ladder Use questions on the left and the assessment updating on the right
    Phone screen: a crew member answering the Ladder Use questions

    Step 2

    Answer a few questions per task

    Most of each assessment is already written. A few plain questions find what is different about how your crew does it. Send any task to the person who does it; they answer on their phone.

    Step 3

    A safety expert reviews it

    Every assessment is checked before it is yours: hazards, severity and likelihood ratings, and engineering, administrative and PPE controls.

  4. Screen: an approved Ladder Use assessment in the compliance portal with its review date

    Step 4

    Live in your portal

    Your assessments sit in your compliance portal with review dates, and download as Word so you can edit them.

Common questions

Before you start.

How much do formal hazard assessments cost?
Essentials covers up to 10 tasks for $995. Standard covers up to 20 tasks for $1,495. Extra tasks are $59 each. The Hazard and Competency Program is $2,495. Prices are plus GST.
What is in each hazard assessment?
The steps of the task, the hazards at each step marked safety or health, a severity and likelihood rating with the overall risk for every hazard, and engineering, administrative and PPE controls. It is built on our approved assessment for the task and changed to match your answers.
Who at our company should answer the questions?
The people who do the work or fully understand it: the owner, a supervisor or a lead hand. You can send any single task to the person who does it; they answer on their phone with no login.
Can we edit the assessments?
Yes. You can suggest a change on any line while you review, and every finished assessment downloads as a Word document you can edit.
How often do they need to be reviewed?
Each assessment shows a review date one year after it is approved, and sooner if the task, equipment or site changes. Yearly upkeep ($399 a year) covers the review, new tasks as your work changes, and keeping your portal register current.
Do these count for a COR or SECOR audit?
Formal hazard assessments are a required part of a COR and SECOR program. Ours rate every hazard by severity and likelihood and list controls in the order the audit expects. An audit scores what your people actually do, so the assessments need to be reviewed with your crew and used.
