Rapid Change Event Risk Assessment Checklist

This checklist helps teams perform suitable and sufficient risk assessments during periods of rapid change, such as organizational restructures, new processes, incidents, new guidance, or global pandemics. It prompts the creation of a task inventory, tailoring generic assessments to site-specific hazards, inclusion of non-routine tasks like cleaning and maintenance, and clear documentation and record retention. It also directs users to seek specialist input where required and to link assessments to specific tasks, ensuring continuous review and relevance.
