TAKE 5 risk assessment checklist books

TAKE 5

The Take 5 is a personal risk assessment tool that prompts you to take five minutes to plan how to do a job safely. In other words: Take 5: Stay Alive.

Do a Take 5 before starting any task and during the task when there is a change in conditions (e.g. starts to rain).

HOW TO DO A TAKE 5

1. Stop – Take 5 minutes to plan for safety.
2. Think – About the task you are going to do, the tools, materials and equipment and you will use, and the environment you will be working in.
3. Identify – The hazards and potential risks you could face while doing the task.
4. Plan – How you will do the task safely and what controls you need to put in place. Do the controls introduce new hazards? How will you control these?
5. Proceed – With the task ONLY when you are sure you can do it safely.

If conditions change – Do another Take 5 to check that the controls are still working effectively.
