Risk Register FAQ

We answer questions relating the SaferMe Risk Register

What is the Risk Register? 

The SaferMe Risk Register provides a streamlined approach to creating and managing hazards for an organisation. Admins can monitor hazards in one place and download all hazard information at once. 

The Risk Register allows organisation admins to configure a risk matrix and add hazards to the risk register. Admins can then edit and evolve their risks over time and demonstrate the continuous improvement to risk management with a full change history.

 

Why is the Risk Register valuable? 

The Risk Register gives admins the platform to prove continuous improvement and evolving controls over time to improve safety. By reviewing controls over time, admins can display clearly how their people manage the risks they encounter, when and how much they review these risks and what actions they have taken to mitigate risk. 

All of this info can then easily be extracted by download to provide to relevant third parties.
