OH&S Risk Register


Purpose
The OH&S (occupational health and safety) Risk Registers in byondpro provide a means of recording all risks (and opportunities) relating to staff work practices in a central register. The OH&S risk screens are configured with the same fields and entry requirements as the Risk Register.
 
Control and Legislation entries can be associated with OH&S risk entries, and any actions required can be logged directly in the register together with policies, correspondence or other electronic files. OH&S Risk registers and other associated reports can be printed from the Cases & Risks category under the reports menu.
 
Related Information available from the OH&S Risk Register summary page:
  • Notes: to record general notes
  • Communications: to record phone calls, correspondence and general activities
  • Documents: to log photos and correspondence
  • Tracking: records progression through the workflow monitoring time elapsed between entries
  • Fields Tracking: records changes to field values, date and time stamped
  • Cases: lists case entries that have been associated with the risk
  • Control: lists controls identified as mitigation measures for the risk
  • Risks: lists organisational risks associated with the OH&S risk entry
