Point of work risk assessment (POWRA)

A Point of Work Risk Assessment (POWRA) is a workplace risk assessment carried out by all operatives involved in work tasks. It is used to identify those things, situations, processes and activities that may cause harm particularly to people. POWRA should be completed at the point of work, before you start. One completed POWRA form can apply to the whole team.
