Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Tool – Housekeeping/Room Attendant
This Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) tool is designed for housekeeping and room attendant positions in the overnight accommodation sector. It outlines job-specific risks such as musculoskeletal injuries, working alone, biohazards, and chemical exposure—along with their probability and severity ratings. The tool includes recommended control measures and supports employers in tailoring their safety practices to site-specific needs. For step-by-step instructions on how to apply risk ratings and use control strategies, refer to the Guidance Document – Assessing Risk for HIRA Tools.
