For a garage or workshop I feel that a generic risk assessment for hand tools is appropriate. The engineers are either competent by virtue of trade training and experience or are under supervision by such persons and the tools are appropriately used and are of trade quality suited to the trade use.
Has anyone ever felt compelled to do any more than this ie lumping all non power hand tools under the one generic description...if so - why ..and what did you produce ?

It would depend on the type of hand tool and nature of hazard i.e like with like.Hammer drill would present different hazards to a circular saw and again to a lathe, so it would require 3 assessments in this case. Does this make sense ?

Hi Chris,
See where you're coming from and I would agree; pliers, hammers, 'footprints', wirestrippers etc. An assessment outlining general guidance on their safe use (good condition, report defects, basic inspection before use, right tool for the job etc) would, in my opinion be more than sufficient.
