FROM DETAILS TO DOCUMENT
Your first document. Three simple steps.
Start with the details you know. See your document before you sign up.
- 01
Define the activity
Describe the task, working area and the people or conditions that need consideration. A focused description gives the assessment a clear boundary and helps you recognise whether the draft covers the activity you intended.
- 02
Build and inspect
Riskora structures the hazards, people affected, controls and risk scores into an assessment. Preview the document, identify anything missing and check that the proposed controls make sense for your workplace.
- 03
Refine and download
Edit the assessment, confirm responsibilities and arrange competent review. Create your free account to save your first document and download the PDF, ready to communicate the precautions to the people involved.

A CLEAR RECORD OF RISK
See the hazard, the control and the remaining risk
Riskora organises the assessment into readable sections and tables. The result gives you a practical structure for reviewing the task and discussing precautions with the people who know the work.
HSE: steps needed to manage riskHazards linked to the task
Review potential sources of harm in the equipment, materials, working methods and surroundings. Add observations from the workplace, including unusual operations that a short initial brief may not have mentioned.
People who could be harmed
Identify the people exposed to each hazard. Depending on the setting, that can include employees, other contractors, visitors, occupants and members of the public, with individual needs considered where relevant.
Existing and further controls
Distinguish precautions already in place from measures still needed. Check that the proposed actions describe practical arrangements for the activity and can be understood by the person responsible for carrying them out.
Initial and residual risk
Compare the risk before and after the proposed controls. Review the ratings against actual conditions and the scoring method; a low residual score depends on the controls being appropriate and implemented.
Review and issue details
Keep the assessment's identity and review information with the record. Before issuing the PDF, confirm who will act on outstanding points and whether the contents reflect the conditions expected when the task starts.
ASSESS A DEFINED ACTIVITY
Start with the work you need to assess
Use this builder when you need a standalone risk assessment for an activity, a workplace task or a package of work. A description such as moving materials through an occupied building gives the draft more direction than a broad title such as general safety. The project title then makes the assessment easy to find and share.
During review, compare the document with what happens at the workplace. Consult the people doing the activity and resolve assumptions about equipment, access or existing precautions. If you also need to describe the work sequence, use the combined RAMS generator or prepare a separate method statement alongside the assessment.
- State the activity and its location, including any occupied or shared working areas.
- Identify the equipment or materials that materially affect how the task is performed.
- Check which precautions already exist and which actions still need an owner.
- Use the relevant specialist assessment where the activity requires one, such as COSHH.

A FEW THINGS, ANSWERED
Risk assessment generator questions.
Practical answers before you start your first document.
Is my first risk assessment free?
Yes. The Free plan includes one safety document for the lifetime of your account, with PDF download and re-download. Preview before signing up, then create a free account to save and edit your document. No card is needed. Additional documents and features are available on paid plans.
Is a risk assessment the same as RAMS?
A standalone risk assessment records hazards, people at risk and the measures needed to control those risks. RAMS combines that assessment with a method statement explaining the work sequence. This page starts the standalone assessment; the RAMS generator is linked below if your client has asked for both.
Can I generate a risk assessment from a short job description?
Yes. Start with up to 200 characters describing the task and setting, and give it a clear title. Riskora generates the structured document in minutes. The brief starts the assessment; check the output against the workplace and add the detail needed before you issue it.
Can I change hazards, controls and risk scores?
You can review and edit the assessment before downloading the PDF. Refine wording, add missing hazards and check each risk score against the precautions that will actually be used. Keep the description specific enough that another person can understand what needs to happen on the job.
Does a generated assessment still need review?
Yes. Someone competent in the work must check the assessment and confirm that its precautions are suitable. Riskora helps prepare the record; the people responsible for the task must put the measures into practice and check that they work. Use relevant specialist advice where needed.
HSE: steps needed to manage riskWhen should I update the risk assessment?
Review it if the precautions may no longer be effective or changes affect the risk. New equipment, a different location or a changed work activity may all matter. Reports from workers and incidents or near misses can also identify a reason to revisit the assessment.
