Frequently asked questions
- What should hazard assessment software include?
- A pre-loaded hazard library for your trade, a scoring matrix (typically likelihood × severity), suggested control measures and PPE per hazard, a sign-off block, and version history. UK-focused tools should align with MHSWR 1999, CDM 2015 and the relevant HSG guidance.
- How is hazard assessment different from risk assessment?
- Hazard assessment is the identification step — what could cause harm. Risk assessment scores and controls each hazard (likelihood × severity, control measures, residual risk, PPE). Hazard assessment is the input to a full risk assessment.
- Does Riskora cover hazards beyond construction?
- Yes. Industry presets cover construction, archaeology, utilities, landscaping and general builders, plus an 'Other' option with custom hazards for specialist trades — and the same hazard library feeds risk assessments, RAMS, method statements, COSHH and toolbox talks.
- Is there a free account?
- Yes — free account on any paid tier. Card is required to activate the trial; cancel any time and you won't be billed.
