Q. How can I perform risk assessments with Smart OHS?

A. If you have noticed a hazard recently (E.g Exit light has gone out), you can simply go the Tasks and Risk Assessments tool and complete an individual task for this matter.

This tool is a simple Risk Assessment, with a built-in reminder function, allowing you to choose when you need to complete a review at a later date.

How to do this:

• Log in to the Smart OHS website, using your login details (above), and go to your Members Area.
• Click on Tasks.
• Enter the Brief Issue Summary in the relevant field, then a more detailed description in the comments field below.
• The next few fields represent the risk matrix in the form of drop-down menus (click on the "i" icon next to the options for a description of the matrix).
• Fill in the date that this task needs to be actioned. For information on when this should be, click on the "i" icon and follow the prompts in order to determine a suitable date for action.
• On this date, you will receive an email asking you to complete that task.
• Hit Save, the next page will appear and you will have the option of completing the task now. If you are able to complete the task immediately, please do so, and enter the details of how you controlled the risk and the date the task was completed. Otherwise, hit Save again, and you will be directed back to your Tasks Section.

You are finished for the time being, but when you receive the email to complete the task, please follow the instructions in order to control the risk.
