Risk Assessment Template Singapore (Free)
A ready to use risk assessment form set up to WSH requirements, with every column explained and a worked example you can copy.
4 min readA risk assessment form is a simple table. Each row is one hazard for one work activity, carried across the columns from hazard to control to action owner. The trick is not the layout, it is filling it with your real operations. This template is set up to the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations, so you can start from a clean, correct structure instead of a blank page.
What you get
- The standard WSH risk assessment columns, already set up.
- A 5 by 5 risk matrix so your scoring is consistent.
- A worked example row you can copy and adapt.
- The hierarchy of control built into the controls column.

Every column explained
Here is what each column means and what to write in it.
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Work activity | The task you are assessing, for example "loading goods onto a lorry". |
| Hazard | What could cause harm in that task, for example "lorry tail-lift". |
| Possible harm | The injury or illness that could result, for example "crushed foot". |
| Existing controls | What you already have in place to reduce the risk. |
| Likelihood (1 to 5) | How likely the harm is, with controls in place. |
| Severity (1 to 5) | How serious the harm would be if it happened. |
| Risk level | Likelihood times severity. 1 to 25. |
| Additional controls | What more you will do, working down the hierarchy of control. |
| Action owner / due date | Who is responsible and by when. |
Worked example
One filled row, so you can see how it reads end to end.
| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
| Work activity | Loading goods onto a lorry |
| Hazard | Operating the tail-lift |
| Possible harm | Crushed foot or fall from the platform |
| Existing controls | Tail-lift serviced yearly, edge marked |
| Likelihood / Severity / Risk | 2 x 4 = 8 (medium) |
| Additional controls | Safe work procedure, toolbox briefing, hold rail fitted |
| Owner / due date | Operations lead, by end of month |
How to fill it properly
Do it with your workers. They know the real hazards. Walk the floor and fill the form together, one activity at a time.
Score honestly. Do not mark everything low to keep it tidy. The point is to find the risks that need action.
Work down the hierarchy of control. Try to eliminate or engineer out the hazard before you fall back on PPE.
Assign and track. Every additional control needs an owner and a date, then proof it was done.

Frequently asked questions
Is this risk assessment template free?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at 8901 2255 or fill the form on this page and we will send you the editable Excel version free, the same form our consultants use on real projects.
Does the template meet WSH requirements?
Yes. The columns and the risk matrix follow the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations. You still need to fill it with your own real hazards and controls for it to be valid.
Can I use this template for bizSAFE or ISO 45001?
Yes. The same risk assessment is the foundation for both bizSAFE Level 3 and ISO 45001. A well filled form feeds straight into either certification.
How do I score the risk?
Rate likelihood from 1 to 5 and severity from 1 to 5, then multiply them for a risk level from 1 to 25. Higher scores need action before the work continues.
Will a template alone pass an audit?
No. A template is a starting structure. The assessment must reflect your real operations, with evidence the controls are used. A generic template that does not match the work is the top reason audits raise findings.
