A good risk assessment is not defined by the number of pages or the sophistication of its scoring matrix. It should help people understand significant risk, decide what controls are needed and keep those controls effective as work changes.
This diagnostic does not approve a risk assessment or replace competent assessment of specific hazards and circumstances.
It does not provide legal advice.

About this diagnostic
Choose a broad assessment type and lifecycle stage, then answer 18 core questions. Up to five unscored follow-ups help refine your recommendations. A relevant specialist check uses one of those five slots.
The score describes your responses, not a legal risk rating or a determination of adequacy. This tool does not replace specialist statutory or technical assessments, including PUWER or COSHH assessments where relevant.
Answer based on the assessment and how the work is actually controlled in practice, not only what is written on the form.
This follow-up helps tailor your recommendations. It does not affect your quality score.
All 18 core answers are needed. You can go back to change an answer before or after viewing your results.
