Overview
Risk assessment is the cornerstone of effective health and safety management. This module transforms the risk assessment process from a compliance exercise into a practical tool that protects workers. Built around the UK HSE 5-step methodology, the system guides assessors through hazard identification, evaluation of existing controls, and implementation of additional measures.
AI-assisted hazard identification suggests common hazards for your industry and activity type, ensuring comprehensive coverage. The 5×5 risk matrix provides consistent scoring, whilst control hierarchies guide users toward the most effective risk reduction measures.
Dynamic risk assessments can be created for non-routine activities, whilst generic assessments provide templates for common tasks. Review scheduling ensures assessments remain current, with automated reminders triggering re-assessment following incidents, process changes, or at scheduled intervals.
