Applies to: Planning · Administrator, Safety officer (HSEQ)
Templates belong to your company. An company admin manages them; builders and businesses can also give that to a safety officer.
- You start with a safety plan template of 13 sections and six risk assessments: an outing or trip, an event, working at heights, manual handling, hot works and chemical use. They're written in your words, with no regulation numbers.
- Each is marked Starting point: review before use until someone saves it. Plans and assessments started from one carry the mark until they're edited.
How to change or add one
- Step 1: Open Planning → Templates and open a template, or use New template and choose Add.
- Step 2: Change the Title, About and Starting summary (optional). For a safety plan, edit each section's heading, What goes here (guidance) and Starting text, or Add a section. For a risk assessment, add the hazards and controls it starts with.
- Step 3: Choose Save template.
- Step 4: Archive takes it out of use; Use it again brings it back.
iComply's templates are general good practice, not legal advice. Change them to suit your own work, sites and people.
