Risk Assessment
The documented risk assessment of each work area or activity, the way the German Gefährdungsbeurteilung does it: who is exposed, the hazards from the eleven hazard-factor groups, each rated likelihood × severity on a 5 × 5 matrix, the measures in the STOP order with an owner, a date and the check of whether they work, and the residual risk. See the matrix before and after, the open measures, the reviews that are due and what the Safety Cross says the assessment missed, and print it with signature lines.
Hazard factor catalogue
The eleven hazard-factor groups of the BAuA handbook on risk assessment, with typical examples for the kind of site chosen above. Pick one to fill the form, then write it for your own workplace.
3 · Measures, check and residual risk
For every hazard: measures in the STOP order (substitution, technical, organisational, personal), each with an owner, a due date and its status; once done, the check of whether it works; then the risk rated again as it is with the measures in place.
No hazards in this assessment yet. Add the first hazard above, or .
Rating scales and risk bands
Rate the likelihood of the harm you rated, not of any incident: a fall from the dock is unlikely, a bruise from a roll cage is not. Rate the most likely serious outcome, as the work is done today.
Likelihood
- 1 · Very unlikely Practically never: not expected in years of this work, here or elsewhere.
- 2 · Unlikely Could happen, but not known here; perhaps once in several years.
- 3 · Possible Has happened in similar work or here before; about once a year.
- 4 · Likely Happens here now and then; several times a year.
- 5 · Very likely Expected: happens often, monthly or more, if nothing changes.
Severit y of harm
- 1 · Negligible No injury, or a minor one that needs no first aid.
- 2 · Minor First aid or a doctor's visit, back at work within three days.
- 3 · Moderate Injury or illness with more than three days off (in Germany a reportable accident), fully recovered.
- 4 · Severe Serious or lasting injury, occupational disease, long absence.
- 5 · Fatal Death, or several people seriously injured.
- Low Acceptable as it is. Keep the measures in place and look at it again at the next review.
- Medium Measures are needed: plan them with an owner and a date, and bring the risk down as far as reasonably possible.
- High Measures are needed soon, before the work goes on as usual: look first for substitution and technical measures.
- Very high Do not carry on as it is: stop or restrict the work until measures have brought the risk down.
The ST OP order
- S · Substitution Remove the hazard or replace it: another substance, process, machine or way of working that is less dangerous.
- T · Technical Deal with the hazard at its source and separate people from it: guards, barriers, interlocks, ventilation, lifting aids.
- O · Organisational Change how the work is organised: rules, routes, rotation, rotas, permits, training and instruction, distance in time or space.
- P · Personal Personal protective equipment and personal behaviour. It comes last, when S, T and O are not enough, and it needs instruction and checks.

Your work
All your work in one file
Every tool keeps your work only in this browser. Save it as one file to keep a copy, to carry on from another phone or computer, or to hand it to a colleague. Nothing is uploaded.
Then clear old entries in these tools to make room: the file keeps them, and opens on any device.
Works offline too: once a tool has been opened on this device, it and the other tools of its role open without a connection.
Team sync Off
Share the tools you choose with your team: every device keeps working without a connection and syncs when it can. The work is encrypted on this device with a key made from the team code, so the server cannot read it.
Your team code
On another device, open this box and scan the code or type the six words under “Join a team”. Give it only to your team: whoever has it can read and change the shared work; for someone who should only look, make a read-only code instead. Write it down; it is not shown again.
Read-only: this device takes the team's work and sends nothing, so it can neither change nor delete the team's copy. Changes made here to the shared tools are not sent, and the next sync replaces them with the team's copy.
For someone who should see the team's work but not change it, such as a manager or a screen on the wall. It cannot change or delete anything.
When someone leaves the team: the work moves to a new code and the old copy is deleted. Every other device then joins again with the new code, and the old read-only codes stop working.
Read-only code
On the other device, open this box and scan the code or paste it under “Join a team”. Whoever has it can read the shared work, so give it only to people who may see it. It stops working when the team changes its code.
