# Work Order Template, Free to Fill and Print

Source: https://nerix.ai/templates/work-order

Give a job to a person or team: what to do, where, by when, labour, materials and sign-off.

Before you send it

If the work carries a safety risk, add the risk assessment, permit or method statement it needs. A work order is not a contract, so check that the price and terms have been agreed separately where that matters.
