The Occupied Building Risk Assessment Template has been developed to meet the requirements of Australian workplace health and safety legislation, particularly the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and associated regulations. This document is essential for organizations needing to conduct thorough risk assessments of buildings where people work, gather, or reside. It provides a systematic approach to identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing control measures specific to occupied buildings. The template incorporates requirements from various Australian Standards, including AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 for risk management and AS 3745-2010 for emergency planning. It is designed to be adaptable for different building types and uses while ensuring compliance with state and federal safety requirements.
