Risk Assessments
Use this page to access the council’s online risk assessment forms. Volunteers and councillors can quickly review, complete and update assessments to help keep our activities, sites and equipment safe and compliant.
Why we complete risk assessments
Risk assessments help us identify hazards, reduce risks and protect volunteers, councillors, contractors and members of the public. Completing them ensures the council meets its legal duties and follows good practice.
All assessments are completed online so they can be easily updated, shared and stored securely.

carrying out maintenance or practical tasks on behalf of the PC
