Fall Risk Assessment Tool for Working at Height
Worksite fall risk vs clinical fall risk
Search results mix fall risk assessment for hospitals (patient mobility scores) with fall risk assessment tools for construction and maintenance. RiskDraft focuses exclusively on working at height — falls from ladders, scaffolds, roofs, and elevated platforms.
Your assessment should list fall hazards per job step, specify edge protection or harness systems, and score residual risk after controls.
What the fall risk assessment tool covers
Fall hazards per step
Unprotected edges, fragile surfaces, dropped tools, ladder stability, and weather exposure — tied to the actual task.
Hierarchy of controls
Eliminate work at height where possible; otherwise document guardrails, nets, harnesses, and exclusion zones.
Risk matrix scoring
Initial and residual ratings show whether your fall controls actually reduce exposure.
