Hi, if you've no risk assessments to use as a guide, then you can build one from the beginning - good for developing later if you wanted to .. make up a table, in word - doc. or open office maybe ..

Have approx 6 columns with titles - Area - Risk - Who is at risk & of what - First aid - Actions taken to prevent risk - Signatory area, date & notes.

Make as many rows and categories as you feel necessary eg. kitchen, toilets, corridor / hall or cloakroom, playroom ..
and begin filling in the areas, you'll notice that things done to prevent risk end up carrying risk of their own, which is where checks and organising maintenance can come in ..

This is a quick idea of what I mean .. example risk assessment.doc

please note that I use the object as the element of risk and H&S / first aid as the course for dealing with its associated risk, rather than using what's listed under first aid/H&S as the actual risk.. which it is


From there you can use the details to put together a daily / ongoing check sheet/list and if needed a faults and report sheet to track areas of breakdown and organise repairs or new items.

If anyone formats their assessment templates differently and includes other information please add on ..

Hope this helps, lots more ideas available if you search online for risk assessment form xx
