What is in the template
- ✓A hazard block you copy for each hazard: the hazard, who could be harmed, controls in reg 6 order, residual risk and who is responsible

What is a hazard register?
A hazard register is a living list of the hazards on a site or job, with the controls in place for each one and who is responsible. Under reg 5 of the General Risk and Workplace Management Regulations 2016 you must identify hazards, and under reg 6 you control them using the hierarchy of control measures.

How is a hazard register different from an SSSP?
The hazard register is one part of an SSSP. The SSSP also covers your task analyses, emergency plan, inductions, overlapping duties and reporting. The register on its own is a good start; the SSSP is what the main contractor asks for.
