Features

Thorough assessments, without the blank page

Risk assessments are easy to put off and easy to do thinly, a template copied from last time, a hazard or two missed, a register kept in a spreadsheet no-one trusts. Risk Assessments & Hazards helps you build assessments properly, prompts you toward the hazards you might overlook, and keeps specialist registers as first-class records rather than afterthoughts. Here's what's inside.

Build and maintain risk assessments

Create structured risk assessments in one place and keep them up to date as things change, instead of reworking a document every time. Each assessment captures the hazards, the risks they pose and what you're doing about them, in a consistent shape across your organization. Everyone works to the same standard, and nothing depends on one person's template.

  • Structured assessments, consistent every time
  • Capture hazards, risks and the controls in place
  • Update in place as conditions change
  • One shared approach across the organization

AI-suggested hazards and risk items

As you build an assessment, AI suggests hazards and risk items you might otherwise miss, so the thinking starts ahead of a blank page. The suggestions are a prompt, not a decision, you choose what's relevant and add the detail that fits your situation. More complete assessments, reached faster, with a human judgement on every line.

  • AI suggests hazards and risk items as you go
  • A head start toward a thorough assessment
  • You decide what's relevant and what to add
  • Fewer gaps, less time staring at an empty form

Start in seconds, or from what you already have

Not every assessment needs the full treatment up front. Run a dynamic, on-the-fly assessment when you need to capture risk in the moment, then build it out later. And when you already have an assessment in a PDF, upload it and let AI read it and populate the items for you, so moving your existing risk work in doesn't mean re-typing it line by line.

  • Dynamic, on-the-fly assessments for capturing risk in the moment
  • Upload an existing PDF and let AI populate the items
  • Bring your current assessments in without re-keying
  • From a quick capture to a full assessment when you're ready

Your scoring, your sign-off

Risk isn't scored the same way everywhere, so the matrix bends to your method. Choose a 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 or custom grid so severity and likelihood match the scale your organization already uses. And when an assessment needs sign-off, route it through a multi-stage approval workflow so the right people review it before it goes live, with every step recorded.

  • Configurable matrix dimensions: 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 or custom
  • Scoring that matches your organization's method
  • Multi-stage approval before an assessment goes live
  • Every review step recorded for the trail

First-class hazard registers

Keep specialist registers, like hazardous materials, as proper structured records alongside your general risk work, not buried in a spreadsheet. These registers are built in as first-class parts of the module, so the things that demand their own record get one. Each register item carries its own QR code, so anyone on the floor can scan it to pull up the full record, including the attached safety data sheets, right where the material is stored.

  • Dedicated registers such as hazardous materials
  • First-class records, not bolt-on spreadsheets
  • Scan each item's QR code to open its full details on the spot
  • Safety data sheets attached to each item and viewable from the scan
  • Sit alongside your general risk assessments
  • A complete risk picture in one module

Rate and prioritize risk

Score each risk so you can see what matters most and act on the things that count. A consistent rating across assessments lets you compare and prioritize rather than treating every line the same. The result is a clear, defensible view of where your real exposure sits.

  • Consistent risk rating across assessments
  • Prioritize the risks that matter most
  • Compare like for like across your sites
  • A defensible view of where exposure sits

Recorded against the right places

Tie assessments and hazards to the locations and assets they apply to, so risk isn't an abstract document but something attached to a real place. When you look at a site, its risk picture is right there; when an assessment changes, you know exactly where it bites. Risk and the places it concerns stay joined up.

  • Assessments linked to the relevant locations and assets
  • A site's risk picture visible against the site
  • Hazards attached to where they actually are
  • Risk and place kept together, not separate

The platform

One platform, three connected layers

Because everything shares one system, an assessment doesn't just sit on file. Send it to the people who need to see it and track their acknowledgement through Distribution & Reviews, which also schedules each assessment to come back round for review so it never quietly goes stale, and the assessments you hold here are part of what Standards checks when proving a requirement is met, site by site.

THE PHYSICAL LAYER

Operate

Is the building safe and running? Locations, assets, planned work and on-the-ground issues.

Premises & Asset Management
Maintenance & Scheduling
Issue Reporting & Requests

THE COMPLIANCE LAYER

Govern

Can you prove you're compliant? Documents, risks, and the proof that people have seen them.

THE PEOPLE LAYER

Manage

Is everyone safe, and are you capturing what matters? Training, incidents and forms.
