Frequently Asked Questions
What is a construction HIRA used for?
A construction HIRA, or hazard identification and risk assessment, is used to keep one project-level register of the significant hazards on a job. It lists activities by phase, identifies the hazards each creates, ranks them with your risk matrix, and records the key controls, owners, and open actions. High-risk activities are linked to their detailed risk assessments, method statements, and permits, and the register is updated from site findings and reviewed at each phase change. It gives the project team a single ranked list to plan safety work from.
How is a HIRA different from a construction risk assessment form?
A construction risk assessment form assesses one work package in detail before it starts. A HIRA register sits above those assessments and gives a ranked view of hazards across the whole project and all its phases. The register shows which activities carry the highest risk and points to the detailed assessment for each one. The two work together: the register decides where detailed assessment is needed, and the form records that assessment. A high-ranked hazard with no detailed assessment linked is a gap to close.
How should hazards be identified for the register?
Use several sources rather than one. Walk the site, review the drawings and programme, read the method statements for each activity, and look at incident and near-miss history from similar work. Ask the workers and trade supervisors, who often see hazards the plan misses. Record the source for each hazard and include hazards from the surroundings, such as live services and adjacent buildings, and from interfaces where one trade's work affects another. Revisit identification whenever the design, programme, or methods change.
How often should the HIRA register be reviewed?
Review it at every phase change, before high-risk activities start, and at the interval your own procedures set. Add findings as they happen: inspection results, safety observations, incidents, and near misses should update the register straight away, and hazards should be re-ranked when controls change or prove ineffective. Keep a revision history showing what changed at each review, and brief the highest-ranked hazards at inductions and team meetings. Share the updated register with the trades affected, so everyone works from the current version rather than an old copy.
What is a construction hazard identification and risk assessment?
Quick Answer
Construction hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) is a project-level register of the hazards on a construction project. It lists activities by phase, identifies the common construction site hazards each one creates, ranks the risks, records the key controls, and links high-risk activities to their detailed risk assessments, method statements, and permits. Each hazard has an owner and open actions, and the register is updated from inspections, incidents, and near misses and reviewed at each phase change.
A construction hazard identification and risk assessment register gives the project team one view of every significant hazard across the job. Instead of scattered assessments for individual tasks, the register lists activities phase by phase, from enabling works and groundworks through the structure, envelope, fit-out, and commissioning, and records the hazards each one creates, including hazards from trade interfaces and the surroundings.
Each hazard is ranked using your risk matrix, so the team can see which risks need the most attention. High-ranked hazards are linked to their detailed risk assessment, method statement, or permit, and every hazard has an owner and open actions with due dates. The register is a living document: findings from site inspections, safety observations, incidents, and near misses are added as they happen, and it is reviewed at every phase change.
Why project hazards get lost between assessments
Each task has its own risk assessment, but nobody can see the whole picture. A hazard flagged during groundworks is forgotten by fit-out, a near miss never makes it back into the plan, and the riskiest upcoming activity gets the same attention as the routine ones.
A HIRA register brings every hazard into one ranked list with owners and actions, updated from what happens on site, so the team always knows which risks matter most right now.
Before and After InspectWrk
Before InspectWrk
- Snag lists live in Excel files shared on WhatsApp threads.
- Construction hazard identification checks are ticked on paper without photo evidence per finding.
- You hear about open snags from the client during the handover walk, not from your own team.
After InspectWrk
- Project and site managers complete the inspection in the app with photo evidence at the construction hazard identification and risk assessment, even offline.
- Managers see open findings, closure status, and your health and safety management system, such as the hazard identification process in ISO 45001, applicable construction health and safety regulations and the project's risk assessments, method statements, and permits evidence live on one dashboard.
- Recurring issues escalate automatically before they reach the client or the National Building Code auditor.
Why is a construction hazard identification and risk assessment important?
Hazards change as a project moves through its phases. A HIRA register helps you:
- See every significant hazard on the project in one place, ranked by risk.
- Review the hazards of upcoming activities before they start.
- Link high-risk activities to the detailed assessments and permits that control them.
- Track owners and open actions so controls do not stall.
- Keep the register current with inspection findings, incidents, and near misses.
What should be included in a construction hazard identification and risk assessment?
A complete HIRA register covers the project, not a single task:
Activities and hazards
- Project, phases covered, register owner, and version
- Activities by phase, upcoming work, and trade interfaces
- Hazards for each activity and how they were identified
Ranking and control
- Who could be harmed and the risk ranking from your matrix
- Key controls and links to risk assessments, method statements, and permits
- Controls that depend on another trade or the client
Ownership and review
- Owner, open actions, due dates, status, and escalation
- Updates from inspections, observations, incidents, and near misses
- Review at phase changes, revision history, briefings, and approval
How do teams use a construction hazard identification and risk assessment?
Build and maintain the register through the project:
- Record the project, phases, and register owner.
- List activities by phase and the hazards each one creates.
- Rank each hazard and record the key controls.
- Link high-risk activities to their detailed assessments and permits.
- Assign owners and track open actions to closure.
- Update the register from site findings and review it at each phase change.
