Risk Assessments

Crew tier and aboveIn the app: /risk

Risk Assessments score a hazard by how likely it is and how bad it would be, each from 1 to 5, then record the controls and the residual score after them. It is the written justification behind why a job is allowed to proceed.

1.Assess a hazard

  1. Open Risk Assessments and press New Assessment.
  2. Enter a title, the activity, the hazard and the job site.
  3. Set the likelihood and the severity, each from 1 to 5. We multiply the two for the score: 1 to 3 is Low, 4 to 7 Medium, 8 to 14 High, and 15 to 25 Critical.
  4. Save. The score and its band are shown on the assessment in the list.

2.Add controls and re-score

  1. Describe how the hazard is controlled in the Controls field.
  2. Set the residual likelihood and residual severity, meaning the scores once the controls are in place.
  3. We show the residual risk next to the initial risk so the difference is visible.

3.Act on a high score

  1. Press + Corrective Action on the assessment.
  2. Give it an owner and a due date. It is tracked in Corrective Actions with the assessment as its source.

4.Find and export

  1. Filter the list by job site or search by title and hazard.
  2. An admin can press Export CSV for the whole list.

Common questions

Is there a template for common tasks?
Not here. The JHA generator in the AI tools drafts steps, hazards and controls for a task, which you can then score as an assessment.
Who can delete an assessment?
An admin.
