This form is an aid to determining whether an incident is reportable or not. It is used to record pertinent decision making information. The decision making process is based on The Australian Government Comcare flow chart.
Our Audit and Inspection checklist templates are created by our safety specialists and can be used as they are or used as a base for a form customised to your business needs

Every worksite has a wide range of risks, it can be hard to keep track of all the risks on a site. Without knowing that a risk exists it is impossible to control effectively. To ensure that your workers are as safe as possible the worksite must be assessed for risks.
The aim of Risk Management is to prevent incidents from occurring, and as such is one of the most important aspects of an organisation’s WHS system.
Before making a purchase there are a number of steps that need to be completed to ensure the system is fit for purpose.
Many organisations keep pre-completed risk assessments for particular task (such as welding). These generic documents only assess the risks that relate specifically to that task. On the other hand a site risk assessment assesses the risks of all tasks performed on the site, as well as assessing how these activities might interact and considering other site-specific factors (such as weather).
While risk assessments for specific tasks or activities can be useful, without an overall site assessment some hazards may be overlooked. For example, in a situation where two tasks are to be performed on a worksite at the same time, each worker may perform their own risk assessment, considering the risks of their own task, but may fail to take into account the hazards arising from the other activity. Likewise risk assessments may focus on the hazards of a particular task without considering how the task will be performed on site. It’s only by stepping back and considering the whole site that you can get the full picture – the site risk profile.
The worksite’s complete risk profile can be identified using a site risk assessment, also known as a risk register.
