Safety & Risk Management

Safety is vitally important in any Shed, as is taking the proper precautions and monitoring your risks. We’ve put together a simple health and safety policy, risk assessment and example risks in the below document to help you manage and mitigate against risks in your Shed. Fill them out to suit your needs and regularly update them. You should also display your health and safety policy somewhere accessible, so that everybody knows the procedures.

Download the Excel document below, fill out each sheet and print them off.

You can also make use of any of the below safety signs (PDFs) that are relevant to your Shed. Ask a local voluntary organisation or local authority communities department to laminate them for you so they last longer.
