Frequently asked questions
Is a Take 5 a legal requirement in Australia?
A Take 5 is not specifically mandated by name under Australian law, but WHS legislation across all states and territories requires workers and employers to identify hazards and assess risks before undertaking work. The Take 5 process directly fulfils this obligation by providing a structured, documented hazard identification method. Many companies and principal contractors require Take 5 assessments as part of their safety management systems, and SafeWork authorities recognise the method as an effective tool for meeting WHS compliance requirements. Having completed Take 5 records on file also demonstrates due diligence in the event of an incident or audit.
What is a Take 5 safety book and what is it used for?
A Take 5 safety book is a pocket sized risk assessment tool used on Australian worksites before starting any task. Workers work through a five step process: stop and think about the job, look for hazards, assess the risks, control the hazards, and monitor the situation. Each completed assessment is recorded in the book, creating a documented safety check. The Take 5 process is widely used across construction, mining, civil, and industrial workplaces as a practical way to pause, identify hazards, and confirm that controls are in place before work begins.
How many sets does the Take 5 book contain, and what size is it?
Our Take 5 book measures 130 x 80mm, which is compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket or work vest so workers can carry it throughout their shift. Each book contains 50 forms printed on 100gsm paper, giving it good durability in dusty, wet, or tough site conditions. The book has a durable card cover and a coil spine that allows it to lay flat when writing, which is particularly useful when wearing gloves or working in confined spaces. It is a cost effective way to put a documented risk assessment process in every worker's hands.
Can I buy Take 5 books in bulk for a large crew or ongoing site supply?
Yes, Take 5 books are well suited to bulk ordering for large crews, ongoing projects, or as part of your standard site induction kit. Because each worker should ideally carry their own book, sites with larger teams will go through books regularly. Bulk pricing and trade accounts are available, so if you are ordering for multiple crews or sites, get in touch to discuss volume pricing. Orders over $200 qualify for free shipping Australia wide, which makes stocking up straightforward.
Can Take 5 books be custom printed with our company name or specific hazard categories?
Yes, we offer custom printed Take 5 books that can be tailored to your business and the type of work your crews carry out. Customisation options include your company logo, business name, industry specific hazard prompts, site specific controls, and additional fields for permit numbers, supervisor sign off, or project details. A custom Take 5 book reinforces your safety culture and ensures the five steps reflect the actual hazards your workers face each day.
