What is a Task Risk Assessment?
A Task Risk Assessment identifies hazards associated with a specific activity and defines control measures to reduce risk. In the UK, task-based risk assessments are commonly used to support safe systems of work and demonstrate sensible health and safety management.
Unlike general workplace assessments, a task risk assessment focuses on one defined job — such as electrical testing, working at height, cleaning in public areas, or short-term maintenance work.
