Risk details area - Right side - Tabs
The Risks list (RISK) application has three tabs:
Notes: This tab is used for unconnected notes of any kind.
Quality issues: Existing related issues from Quality issue (QIS) may be added in this tab.
Risk analysis: In this tab, one or more potential consequences must be added for each risk.
Users select whether each potential risk has a Negative impact or a Positive impact (the latter is sometimes referred to as positive risk or a possibility).
Consequence area must then be chosen in the drop-down menu. It is then optional to choose a Consequence type from the next drop-down menu. For example, the Consequence area may be Personal injury, while the Consequence type could be Cut injury. The consequence areas and types are defined in the QHSES setup (QISADMIN) application.
There is also a Comment field, where the user may add any relevant information.
Likelihood and Severity are mandatory drop-down menus in which the user select the values corresponding to their assessment of each consequence. The risk matrix is defined in the QHSES setup (QISADMIN) application, with a 5x5 matrix as default.

After quantifying the consequences of a risk, the potential consequence will appear in the Risk analysis tab. Controls may then be added. This is done by clicking the icon in the Control column for the consequence in question. A control could either be existing from other risk assessments, predefined reusable controls or new. The predefined and reusable controls are defined in the QHSES setup (QISADMIN) application.
After controls have been added, actions should be added to handle/control the remaining risk. Add actions by clicking the icon in the Action column for the consequence in question. Users may add new actions, or existing ones (if any exists). Actions are then handled further in the Risk assessment (RAS) application under the Action overview tab or in the Task (TASK) application. In the Action overview tab, users may add a closed action to a control for the specific risk.
The statuses of risks are Status 1 - Registration, Status 2 - Under Assessment, Status 3 - Handling, and Status 4 - Accepted. All individual risks must be in Status 4 - Accepted before a risk assessment can be closed in the Risk assessment (RAS) application (Status 4 - Assessed).
Note
If the user opens an older version of an assessment, a warning will appear and provide a link to the most up-to-date version.
