FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the POWRA toolbox talk
What's the difference between a POWRA and a risk assessment?
The risk assessment and RAMS are prepared in advance. The POWRA is the short check that workers carry out themselves just before they start, and it adds to the risk assessment rather than replacing it.
How often should you carry out a POWRA?
Before starting work, after every break or interruption, whenever something changes on the job and after a fault, incident or near miss.
Do you also have a POWRA form?
Yes. You can also download the editable POWRA form for free. With E-lia, your team completes the POWRA digitally via WhatsApp.
