Building Risk Assessment Form – Using Hand Held Power Tools

Nearly everyone who works on any building site will use some hand held power tools such as drills, circular saws, planes etc. whether they are run from a battery or a 240v or 110v mains supply. This Risk Assessment Form For Using Hand Held Power or Battery Tools will allow you to assess the risks to your employees while carrying out these tasks.

This Building Risk Assessment Form has been professionally written for you to use by adding to or deleting the control measures that we have suggested. We have considered the various hazards your employees and anyone else will be exposed to on a regular basis and have given some control measures that you may already have in place, along with our suggestions of those you may wish to implement. These are only our suggestions – you may find that your particular site or location needs different answers, and these forms allow you to fill them in as you need.

If you are new to carrying out risk assessments you may find it useful to read our Guidance Notes: How to do a Construction Site Risk Assessment.
