How do I adopt a Risk Assessment?

Once you have assigned the Risk Assessment, it needs to be reviewed and adopted at site level. This article will guide you through how to do this.

Click the Risk Assessment module in the left-hand navigation.

Click the Assessments tab.

Use the dropdown to select the location where you need to renew the assigned Risk Assessment. If you only have access to one location, this will already be open on the Assessments tab.

To find the risk assessment that needs renewing either scroll through the list or use the search function.

You will see in the table that the third column Status is Newly Assigned.

Once you have found the item, click the ellipses on the right-hand side of the item, and click Review.

This will take you through the stages of the Risk Assessment - some fields cannot be amended, however here is the opportunity for you to add any control measures or remove any that are non-mandatory.

Once you are happy with the Risk Assessment, on the last page named Adopt click the box which says I confirm that I have understood this risk assessment and accept it.

At the bottom of this page, you have the option to Preview and Adopt Risk Assessment. To adopt the risk assessment click Adopt Risk Assessment.

Once adopted, this will appear on the locations list of Assessments as Adopted.
