Who this template is for
Risk Assessment Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in facilities & property management.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 29 questions across 4 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 19 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 7 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 7 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Hazard type” is Hazardous substance, the form dynamically exposes “Product or substance name”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Hazard type” is Hazardous substance, the form dynamically exposes “Upload the safety data sheet”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Hazard type” is Manual handling, the form dynamically exposes “Typical load weight (kg)”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Hazard type” is Manual handling, the form dynamically exposes “Are mechanical aids available?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Residual risk rating” is High, “Additional action required” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Residual risk rating” is High, “Action owner” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Residual risk rating” is High, “Action target date” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 7 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How do I decide the review date?
Tie it to the residual rating and to change. A high residual score usually warrants a review within three months; a low one can sit for a year unless the task, the equipment or the people change.
Should PPE be listed as a control?
It can be, but it belongs last. The form asks for elimination, substitution and engineering controls first precisely so PPE is not the only answer.
Can I attach this to a permit?
Yes — that is the intended pairing. The Permit to Work Form has an attachment question for exactly this document.
What counts as high residual risk?
Whatever your matrix says. When High is selected the form insists on an additional action, an owner and a target date, so no assessment closes with an unresolved high score.
Who should countersign?
Someone other than the assessor — usually the manager accountable for the area — so the controls have been read by a second person.

Yes. You can preview and test Risk Assessment Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?
The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
