The Legal Risk Score of a Job Safety Analysis Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document lacks specific details regarding the responsibilities and roles of individuals involved in the job safety analysis, which could lead to ambiguities in accountability.
  • There is an absence of defined criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented control measures, potentially resulting in inadequate risk management.
  • The document does not specify a timeline for review or update, which might result in outdated practices being followed in dynamic work environments.
