Do I need a risk assessment for a ute?

Yes, you do need a risk assessment for a ute (utility vehicle) when it is used for work purposes. Under Australian WHS laws, any vehicle used as part of a business is considered plant, and employers have a duty to identify and manage the risks associated with its operation. This includes hazards such as distracted driving, unsecured loads, vehicle maintenance issues, fatigue, and interaction with pedestrians or other vehicles on-site. A formal risk assessment helps ensure these hazards are recognised and controlled—reducing the chance of incidents, protecting workers, and demonstrating compliance with your legal obligations.
