About this template
Page 1 is the card a worker completes before each task: stop and look, tick the hazards, note what has changed, tick the controls (remove or isolate first) and decide whether it is safe to start. It prints on A4 or smaller. Page 2 is a short how-to, an optional log of the checks done and a plain note on what the law does and does not require.
