Discover the recommended methods and solutions for preparing a risk assessment document
If you manage a production plant, you likely know that the common belief when assessing work equipment risks is that a machine declared compliant, for instance, in line with EU Directives, is inherently safe and that this alone satisfies the employer’s safety obligations.
However, it is important to recognize that the machine manufacturer is often aware of certain residual risks beyond those related to the environment where the equipment is installed. There may also be obvious defects, such as the absence of safety guards, which could impact the safe use by workers.
Proper preparation of the risk assessment document is your solution. This document, known as RAD, seeks to identify the risks associated with the use, cleaning, and maintenance of machinery while also examining working conditions, environmental hazards, and potential interference with other equipment.
Our task is to guide you in creating clear and targeted documents that minimize risks during work and maintenance and provide tangible benefits for your operators’ safety.

Operating Instructions and training
Request support for the development of risk mitigation procedures
Following the risk assessment for the use of the equipment, where machines meet legal requirements, potential improvements can focus on organizational measures, including instructions, procedures, and staff training.
Our expertise in automation helps you identify areas for improvement, enabling the development of practical operating instructions. This ensures your operators know the risks and the appropriate mitigation measures to apply in different operating situations.

Maintaining safety requirements
Request support for the development of a maintenance plan
Even if the employer has fulfilled their equipment compliance responsibilities, thoroughly assessed the associated risks in the work environment, and trained their operators, they must still ensure that the equipment’s safety requirements are consistently maintained, as mandated by law.
With our consultancy, you will receive support in defining maintenance plans that meet safety requirements in accordance with current legislation and regulatory standards.
To simplify the updating and maintenance of safety documentation, you can equip your HSE department with H-DOCS software developed by our technicians specifically for your team.
