What is a Young Persons Risk Assessment?

The Young Persons Risk Assessment Template has been developed to address the specific workplace safety needs and vulnerabilities of young workers in Australian workplaces. This document is essential for any organization employing workers under 25 years of age and must be completed before a young person commences work or when their work conditions significantly change.

The document should be used in conjunction with general workplace risk assessments and reviewed regularly to ensure ongoing effectiveness of control measures.
