Risk Assessment
Description
eVolution Risk Assessments allows H&S Managers to comply with legislation to assess and manage health and safety risks. The process commences with the identification of hazards and people who might be affected. These are then setup on the system and easily amended by Health and Safety managers using eVolution's flexible risk assessment templates. Assessments are then scheduled on an repetitive basis (or as a one off exercise) to review of the adequacy of existing controls, probability, severity and people affected by the risk. eVolution automatically assigns ranking based on the information supplied and allows logging of proposed controls and further actions necessary with people responsible and target dates. It also provides key management information, e.g. areas which require urgent attention, outstanding corrective actions, etc. Health & Safety staff is encouraged to log lessons learnt, best practices and guidelines.
