About this template
An independent risk assessment template written to the Education and Care Services National Regulations, as they apply in Queensland, and to work health and safety law for staff. It has 22 scored hazards for a childcare centre, kindergarten or outside school hours care service: the fencing rule, the emergency risk assessment with its 3-monthly rehearsal and 12-monthly review, the nine matters an excursion risk assessment must consider, the authorisation contents, collection, transport and water safety. It prints no educator ratio: you enter your own. It does not make a service compliant.
