Clearer site decisions
Turn electrical hazards into assigned actions.
Connect the work and exposed people to a repeatable rating, specific control, owner, and review decision.
One row per hazard
Keep the source, consequence, exposed people, safeguards, and evidence together.
Initial and residual ratings
Use the same likelihood and severity scale before and after controls.
Controls with ownership
Assign each measure an owner, date, status, and review path.
Common electrical work
Adapt the structure to the task and energy source.
Choose the closest scenario, then add the site's hazards, rating labels, thresholds, and controls.
Panels and switchgear
Identify supply, voltage, isolation, energized parts, access, and verification.
Portable tools and leads
Record identity, damage, exposure, routing, inspection, and removal from use.
Temporary distribution
Assess boards, protective devices, leads, wet areas, and physical protection.
Overhead and buried services
Connect plans, locating, routes, plant, barriers, spotters, and boundaries.
Assessment workflow
Build a form crews can complete before work changes.
Generate the structure, add the site's rating method, test each path, and publish a mobile link.
01
Describe the work and rating method
Name the task, equipment, supply, exposed groups, site, and matrix.
02
Edit hazards and conditional paths
Show isolation, equipment, overhead-line, or buried-service questions when relevant.
03
Configure rating and escalation
Define likelihood, severity, scores, bands, and the review threshold.
04
Test, publish, and revisit
Test phone submissions and reassess when work or conditions change.
Form vs document vs informal note
Choose a record that keeps ratings and actions connected.
A structured form keeps every hazard, score, control, owner, and decision distinct.

Field guide
What an electrical risk assessment form should include.
Use six sections to define the job, rate hazards, assign controls, and record the decision.
Hazard identification
Describe the source and exposure separately.
Name the source, observed condition, possible consequence, exposed people, and activity.
- Source, location, equipment, and condition.
- Contact, arc, fire, or secondary consequence.
- People exposed, activity, frequency, and photos.
Existing safeguards
Record what is already in place.
Capture safeguards already present when the assessor reviews the task.
- Isolation, lockout, tag, and verification status.
- Covers, barriers, protective devices, and access.
- Procedure, assigned role, spotter, inspection, or test.
Initial risk
Use one defined matrix consistently.
Collect likelihood and severity separately, using the site's definitions and resulting band.
- Likelihood value and definition.
- Severity value and credible consequence.
- Initial score, band, rationale, and threshold.
Additional controls
Make every measure specific and owned.
Choose a control level, describe the change, assign an owner, and set a date.
- Eliminate, substitute, engineer, administer, or use selected protective equipment.
- Control, owner, date, priority, and status.
- Evidence, dependency, stop-work condition, and verifier.
Residual review
Close with a decision and trigger.
Re-rate after controls, record the decision, and define when work needs reassessment.
- Residual likelihood, severity, score, band, and rationale.
- Proceed, revise controls, or stop-work decision.
- Reviewer, date, and change triggers.

Electrical risk assessment form questions
Practical answers for electricians, supervisors, and safety officers designing a repeatable assessment record.
What is an electrical risk assessment form?
It defines the work, hazards, exposed people, safeguards, initial rating, additional controls, owners, residual rating, decision, and review triggers. Align the generated form with the site's procedures and qualified safety guidance.
What fields should an electrical risk assessment form include?
Include location, task, equipment, supply, assessor, people exposed, hazard, safeguards, likelihood, severity, initial score, control, owner, due date, residual rating, reviewer, evidence, decision, and change triggers.
How should initial and residual electrical risk be recorded?
Use the same defined likelihood and severity scales twice. Record existing safeguards with the initial rating, then additional controls with the residual rating. Keep each score, band, and rationale.
Can the form calculate a risk score?
Ask for likelihood and severity fields plus the site's matrix, formula, bands, and review threshold. Test boundary values. If the exact calculation is unavailable, keep both inputs and the score as required fields.
Can one form handle several electrical hazards on the same job?
Yes. Use a repeatable section so every hazard has its own exposure, safeguards, ratings, controls, owner, and decision. Otherwise, provide fixed hazard sections or submit one form per hazard.
When should an electrical risk assessment be reviewed again?
Review it when scope, isolation, supply, equipment, method, crew, route, access, weather, moisture, or site activity changes, or after an incident or new defect. Add a stop-work response for uncertain conditions.
Is this electrical risk assessment form generator free?
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge. Review the generated draft and test the site's fields, scoring, and routing before use.
How can supervisors follow up on high-risk items?
Collect a score or band, owner, due date, status, and reviewer. Route records above the site's threshold by email, Slack, Google Sheets, or Zapier, then filter open submissions by owner and date.
