Document background
The Task Specific Risk Assessment is a crucial workplace safety document required by German law, specifically under the Arbeitsschutzgesetz (ArbSchG) and related regulations. This document must be created whenever a new task is introduced, existing processes are modified, or when periodic review of workplace activities is due. The assessment systematically identifies and evaluates task-specific hazards, determines appropriate control measures, and establishes monitoring procedures. It forms part of an organization's broader occupational safety and health management system, helping ensure compliance with German and EU safety standards while protecting worker health and safety. The document must be regularly reviewed and updated, particularly when changes occur in workplace conditions, equipment, or regulatory requirements.
