How Do I add a Simple Risk Assessment?

The Simple Risk Assessments Module allows for the identification and documentation of risks associated with machinery. These assessments can be carried out either planned (before using machinery to proactively identify risks) or unplanned (in response to an incident).

Adding a Simple Risk Assessment involves:

1. Initial set up - add the simple risk assessment to the system by documenting the details.
2. Completion - add the Risk Ratings, Notifications and Signatures.
