About this template

A farm dam risk assessment for dams, tanks, troughs, channels and irrigation storages. It rates drowning, bank collapse, bogging, working over water, confined space entry into tanks, electrical pumps, chemical dosing, snakes and remote work, selects controls by the hierarchy and records the rescue plan for the people who work at the water.

FAQ

Before you buy

Something else? Ask us and a real person will reply.

Microsoft Word. Edit it in Word, or free in Word for the web, and add your own logo and business details.

How do I get it after I pay?

Your download buttons appear as soon as checkout finishes, and the links are emailed to you. You can re-download from your account at any time.

Is it compliant with Queensland law?

It's written around Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Regulation 2011. Tailor it to your site, consult your workers and review it whenever conditions change; no template can guarantee compliance on its own.
