■ Method: Three-level risk judgement Rates each hazard as high, medium or low and prioritises improvement of high-rated items. Note: workplaces with fewer than 20 workers may omit the risk estimation step.
Priority order for risk controls: 1. Elimination / substitution — remove or change the hazardous task, or substitute the hazardous material; reduce risk at the design or planning stage. 2. Engineering controls — interlocks, ventilation and other equipment that physically blocks the hazard. 3. Administrative controls — work procedures, signage, warnings and training. 4. PPE — personal protective equipment for whatever risk remains after the above. Note: PPE is the last resort. Apply the higher-ranked control first unless the cost is clearly disproportionate to the benefit. A control column that lists only PPE will be flagged as inadequate.

⚠️ Every workplace with at least one regular worker is covered, and worker participation is a statutory duty (Occupational Safety and Health Act Article 36). Article 36 and Enforcement Rule Article 37 were amended in 2026 — check the current text on the national law portal. This tool is for reference and is not a safety diagnosis or legal advice.
Forms you should download from the official source
We do not build the forms below. They are statutory filings or ministry-issued standard contracts: the original changes with each revision, and an edited copy may be rejected or lose its effect. Download the current version from the issuing body.
Hazard and Risk Prevention Plan
KOSHA (form text at the National Law Information Center) · Basis: 산업안전보건법 제42조
A statutory filing reviewed by KOSHA. The application and its attachments — project outline, site surroundings drawing, master schedule, safety-budget plan — are prescribed as annexed forms in the Enforcement Rule, so only the prescribed forms are accepted. This is not something we can build for you.

We build ISO documentation systems and Daou Office approval forms to order
ISO documents structured the way audits expect, and groupware approval forms shaped around how your company actually works.
- ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 documentation — manual, procedures, work instructions and record forms as one coherent set.
- Custom Daou Office approval forms — approval routes, required fields and acceptance criteria filled in, not empty templates.
- No off-the-shelf template pack. Each document is reworked around your industry and your processes.
We do not represent you at certification audits and do not guarantee certification. Our scope ends at building the documents and the system.
What this tool does
A risk assessment identifies hazards in a workplace, decides whether the resulting risk is acceptable, and establishes and implements controls where it is not. It is an employer duty under Article 36 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and it applies to any workplace with at least one regular worker. Workplaces with fewer than five workers are not exempt. Many employers find it daunting because they picture the old frequency-times-severity arithmetic, but since the 2023 notice revision, checklists, a simple three-level high/medium/low judgement, and a one-point-sheet method are all accepted. Workplaces with fewer than 20 regular workers may skip the risk estimation step entirely. This tool builds the matching sheet once you pick a method, and keeps track of the two items most often missed: worker participation and follow-up on implementation.
Who uses this
- The annual assessment has not been done yet and documentation is needed
- New equipment has been installed and an ad-hoc assessment is required
- Records are needed for Serious Accidents Punishment Act compliance
- A small workplace wanting the simplest accepted method
- A form with a worker participation signature block is needed
How to use
- 1State the assessment type. Initial, periodic or ad-hoc evidences that the cycle was followed.
- 2Include workers from the relevant task among participants. This is a statutory duty.
- 3Choose a method. Polite tone gives the one-point sheet, neutral the three-level judgement, firm the frequency-severity matrix.
- 4List hazards by process together with control measures.
- 5Record completion dates and verifiers in the follow-up section. Planning alone does not discharge the duty.
- 6Obtain the employer's approval signature. The employer is the responsible party.
Three ways to derive risk
The frequency-severity method grades likelihood and severity and multiplies them. A frequency of 3 and a severity of 4 give 12, and controls are required if that exceeds the workplace's acceptance threshold. The three-level method skips the arithmetic and simply rates risk as high, medium or low, prioritising high-rated items. The one-point-sheet method summarizes the key hazards and controls of a single risky task on one page. All three are legally accepted; pick the one that fits your size and operations. Workplaces with fewer than 20 regular workers may omit the risk estimation step.
Examples
Periodic assessment, 10-person manufacturer
The three-level method suffices. Break hazards down by process such as presses, forklifts and chemical handling, and schedule improvements starting with high-rated items.
Ad-hoc assessment after new equipment
Complete it before the equipment is operated. Mark the type as ad-hoc and focus on hazards introduced by the new equipment.
Workplace with fewer than five workers
Not exempt. Documenting a few risky tasks with one-point sheets counts as having performed the assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Do workplaces with fewer than five workers need this?
Yes. Any workplace with at least one regular worker is covered. Those under 20 workers may omit the risk estimation step, which lightens the burden.
How often is it required?
An initial assessment before work begins, then at least once a year from the following year. Ad-hoc assessments are required when equipment or methods change or an accident occurs.
Must workers participate?
Yes. Article 36 requires the employer to involve the workplace's workers. A sheet signed only by managers can be cited as a procedural violation.
Must frequency and severity be calculated numerically?
No. Since the 2023 revision, checklists, three-level judgement and one-point sheets are also accepted. Choose what fits your workplace.
Does this satisfy the Serious Accidents Punishment Act?
The duty to establish hazard identification and improvement procedures under Article 4(1)3 of its Enforcement Decree can be discharged through risk assessment. Controls must actually be implemented and recorded, not merely planned.
Is my input stored?
No. Input stays in your browser and is never included in the share link.
Cautions
- •Every workplace with at least one regular worker is covered; under five is not exempt.
- •Worker participation is a statutory duty. Manager-only sheets are hard to defend.
- •Establishing controls is not enough; implement them and keep the records.
- •Article 36 and Enforcement Rule Article 37 were amended in 2026. Check the current text on the national law information portal.
- •This tool assists with drafting and is not a safety diagnosis or legal advice.
