Risk assessment template
A risk assessment that scores each hazard from 2 to 10 before and after its controls, with the same matrix and definitions AREESA uses, a named person responsible and the sign-off. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
SWMS template
A complete safe work method statement layout: company and job details, the high-risk construction work list, PPE, work steps with hazards and controls, crew sign-on and a revision table. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
JSA template
A job safety analysis in one sheet: job details, PPE, ten job steps with their hazards, controls and responsible person, and crew sign-on. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
Toolbox talk template
One sheet for the talk and the record: topic, points covered, what the crew raised, actions with an owner and a date, and a twelve-line attendance sheet. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
Forklift pre-start checklist
Eighteen checks an operator walks through before the first lift of the shift, a faults section that records what was found and whether the forklift was tagged out, and sign-off. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
Hazard report form
A one-page form for reporting a hazard before it becomes an incident: what was found, where, who could be harmed, what was done straight away, and the corrective actions through to close-out. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
Incident report form
A two-page incident report that captures the facts while they are fresh: the incident, the people, the injury and treatment, what happened, what was done, why it happened, and what will stop it happening again. Word and PDF, emailed to you.
Why are these free?
A template is a starting point, not a safety system. These are the paper versions of the documents Australian sites run on every day, written plainly, laid out so they can be filled in at the ute, and free because a good template costs nothing to give away.
We build AREESA, the software that keeps the real versions of these documents signed, current and on record across your sites. If the templates are useful, you will know where to find us when the folder stops scaling.
Want these documents to manage themselves?
Templates are the starting point. AREESA keeps the real thing signed, versioned and on record across every site.
