RA04 · Personal HygienePersonal Hygiene Risk Assessment Template (RA04)
Use it when you need a documented, scored personal hygiene risk assessment for your food safety management system and want to show an auditor how you reached each rating.
Four editable files in one download: the scored risk register in Excel, the procedure it sits under, a line by line completion guide and a read me. R690, once off, no VAT added.
What the personal hygiene risk assessment covers
Hand washing, workwear, jewellery, health screening and visitor control, assessed by risk instead of by habit. The pack gives you the assessment, the rules it produces, and the guide that shows you how to defend both.
What is in the pack
Four files, supplied as editable Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents in a single download.
- The personal hygiene risk register in Excel, already scored, with the likelihood against severity matrix and the drop down lists built in.
- The governing procedure in Word that the register sits under, written to the same clauses.
- A completion guide in Word that walks you through the assessment line by line, so the scores you set are ones you can defend.
- A read me in Word listing the reference standards and how to adapt the pack to your site.

How to use it on your site
Read the guide
Open the read me and the completion guide first. They explain the scoring and how to adapt the pack to your products and processes.
Score your own risks
Work through the register line by line and set the likelihood and severity for your site, not ours. The matrix calculates the rating.
Put the controls in place
Link each significant risk to a control, a monitoring activity and a record, and run them under the procedure.
Review when things change
Review the assessment at your planned date and whenever you add a product, line, supplier or process, or after an incident.
Look inside before you buy
Open the free sample preview. It shows the real scored register, a page of the completion guide and a page of the procedure, so you can see exactly what you are buying before you pay.

Delivery and terms
- Instant secure download after payment. Your purchase stays in your account, so you can download it again whenever you need it.
- R690 (about USD 42 · EUR 37 · GBP 31). No VAT is added at checkout.

What this pack does not do
A pack is a template and a method. It does not certify your site and it does not guarantee an audit outcome. You still set the scores against your own operation, implement the controls, generate the records and show an auditor that the system works. What you save is the writing time.
