I have lots of risk assessment forms for a construction company but they are all very specific to individual activities. The only general bit is that they have 3 columns:
1- Risk associated with activity
2- Precautions taken to reduce risk
3 - PPE requirements and comments

I have also undertaken risk assessment workshops for projects and it then starts to get more complicated with assessment of likelihood of occurrence (High, Medium, Low) and Impact if it does happen (High Medium Low). Ignore Low/Lows and concentrate on High/Highs and High/Mediums and possibly Medium/Mediums to reduce the impact and or reduce the likelihood of occurrence. Then monitor any which cannot be reduced below Medium/Medium. It is easy to show with a diagram but difficult to describe.

I also have an .xlsx spreadsheet with generic risks if you are interested.

People do degrees in Risk Management so there must be more to it than above?

You'd think.

Risk assessment is still essentially subjective - that is, based on the views, assumptions, and evidence, of the assessor. Unfortunately, "competence" is also measured subjectively.

Most RA is based, however, on probability (or likelihood) versus severity of risk - and seeks only to prove awareness that risks were considered before you electrocuted yourself

Risk Management is a little more involved, though, for sure.
