Frequently asked questions
What is a Take 5?

A Take 5 is a brief safety check that workers complete before starting any task. The process takes about five minutes and helps identify hazards before they cause harm. Workers stop, assess the job, spot potential risks, decide on controls and proceed safely. This quick prestart checklist creates a habit of thinking before acting, reducing incidents across all types of work. The Take 5 method works for any task, from operating machinery to climbing ladders or working near traffic.
When should you do a Take 5?

You should complete a Take 5 before starting any new task, when conditions change during work, or when something unexpected happens. This includes the start of each shift, moving to a new location, using different equipment, or when new hazards appear. If weather changes, additional workers arrive, or the job scope shifts, stop and complete another Take 5. The process only takes a few minutes but catches risks that develop throughout the workday.
What are the 5 steps in a Take 5?

The five steps are stop, look, assess, control and monitor. First, stop and focus on the task ahead without rushing. Second, look around and identify what could cause harm. Third, assess the level of risk for each hazard you identified. Fourth, control the risks by putting safety measures in place. Fifth, monitor conditions as you work and stop again if anything changes. These steps create a simple framework that any worker can follow regardless of their role or experience level.
Is a Take 5 a legal requirement?

Take 5 checks support your legal duty to identify and control workplace hazards under Work Health and Safety legislation. While the law does not specifically mandate the Take 5 process by name, it requires workers and businesses to manage risks before starting work. Using a Take 5 book provides documented evidence that workers assessed hazards and applied controls. This documentation demonstrates compliance during audits and investigations, protecting both workers and employers.
What is the difference between a Take 5 and a JSA?

A Take 5 is a quick individual risk check completed before each task, while a Job Safety Analysis breaks down complex work into detailed steps with specific controls. Take 5 checks take about five minutes and suit routine tasks where hazards are straightforward. JSAs require more time, involve multiple people and apply to high risk or complex jobs. Many sites use Take 5 checks for everyday work and require JSAs for tasks like confined space entry, hot works or complex lifting operations.
