IMPORTANT!
The system's risk assessment module must be configured and set up correctly before it can be used effectively.

New risk assessment

When you open the risk assessment module, you'll see how the structure is organized, and there will be a table showing the existing risk assessments:

To create a risk assessment, click on the blue "Create Blank Risk Assessment"

When setting up a new risk assessment you need to input the following information:

Name

Name of the new risk assessment

Operation type (pre-defined)

Location (pre-defined)

Choose an location from the pre-existing "Locations" database. Refer to this article if no selections are available.


Responsible Job Position (pre-defined)

Select a job position responsible for overseeing the operation and its associated risk assessment. Job positions needs to be set up.

Description

Write a description for the risk assessment. This description should clearly outline what the risk assessment needs to cover, ensuring that all important steps are done right.

Table

In this section, you'll enter various risk factors, calculate the initial risk, and then, after implementing mitigating measures, determine the residual risks. The table will consist of a:

Description:  Description of the action being performed

Hazard: Choose a Hazard from the pre-existing "Hazards" database (pre-defined). Refer to this article if no selections are available.

Consequences: Choose a Consequence from the pre-existing "Consequences" database (pre-defined). Refer to this article if no selections are available.

Probability, Severity & Risk: Select the values for probability (P) and severity (S). These values can be incremented by one with a click. The risk factor (R) is automatically calculated (Risk Factor = Probability x Severity).

Mitigating Measures: Choose a Mitigating measure from the pre-existing "Mitigating Measures" database (pre-defined). Refer to this article if no selections are available.

Residual risk: After implementing mitigating measures, new values for probability (P) severity (S), and risk factor (R) are chosen or adjusted.


No Expiry/Single Expiry

Decide whether the risk assessment should include an expiration date or not. This choice can ensure regular updates of onboard operations as needed.

Access (pre-defined)

Select a job position(s) that can access this risk assessment. Job positions needs to be set up.



Once you've entered all this information, you can click "Save" to create this risk assessment. It will then be accessible to everyone, or only those specified in the "Access" field, within the table overview of the module.
