The Environmental Risk Assessment App Built for the Front Line
Sitemate’s Environmental Risk Assessment App is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log environmental risk assessments at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with environmental hazards, risk controls, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.

Why Environmental Risk Assessment management Is Harder than It Should Be
Time-consuming manual risk assessments
Workers using paper-based forms take a long time to identify environmental hazards and controls on site.
Delays in getting sign-off before starting work
Paper-based risk assessments often need to be passed around for review, which can hold up the start of work.
Missing and illegible risk assessment records
Paper-based risk assessment forms can easily get soiled or damaged. Furthermore, paper forms are easy to lose before reaching the office.
Compliance gaps due to skipped assessments
Due to the time it takes to complete paper-based risk assessments, workers may skip the process, which compromises environmental compliance.
A Smarter Environmental Risk Assessment App
AI-assisted risk assessment creation
Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete risk assessment, pre-filled with details specific to user input.
Quick sign-off before starting work
Workers and supervisors can review and sign off on the risk assessment directly from their mobile device, so work isn’t held up waiting on paperwork.
Supervisor review before work begins
All completed risk assessments are routed to supervisors for review and sign-off before workers are cleared to start work.
Compliance gaps due to skipped assessments
The Environmental Risk Assessment App uses Dashpivot’s cloud storage system where all completed assessments are stored. Looking into previous records can be done with a few taps and clicks.
Understanding Environmental Risk Assessment Software
What is an Environmental Risk Assessment App?
An Environmental Risk Assessment App is a tool that project and environmental teams use to create environmental risk assessments, documents that identify how a project or activity could impact the surrounding environment. These assessments are usually carried out before work begins, and cover details on the environmental factors present, the potential impacts, and the controls needed to manage them. With an Environmental Risk Assessment App, teams can keep a digital record of these assessments, as well as any updates made as site or project conditions change.
What does an Environmental Risk Assessment App help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and date
- Environmental factors present, such as waterways, soil type, or protected areas
- Activities or work items that could cause environmental impact
- Likelihood and severity rating for each impact
- Existing controls and additional controls needed
- Residual risk rating after controls are applied
- Name and sign-off of the person completing the assessment
- Supporting photos and attachments
Why is environmental risk assessment important?
Environmental risk assessment matters because it gets teams to think through how their work could affect the surrounding environment before anything starts, not after something's gone wrong. A site might sit close to a waterway, have contaminated soil, or fall within a protected area, and none of that is obvious unless someone actually checks. This comes up a lot in construction and industrial work, where excavation, runoff, or waste disposal can easily affect land or water if nobody's keeping an eye on it. A proper assessment gives teams a clear picture of what's at stake and what needs to be in place before work gets underway.

Frequently asked questions about the Environmental Risk Assessment App
Does Dashpivot work even if offline?
Yes, Dashpivot can work even without internet connectivity. It stores all collected data, like photos and hazard notes, on the phone and automatically syncs when connectivity returns.
How does AI help when completing an assessment?
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can extract details from photos and voice notes and auto-fill the relevant fields. This removes most of the manual entry involved in using an environmental risk assessment template on site.
Can I update an existing environmental risk assessment checklist in the app?
Yes, you can easily update an environmental risk assessment checklist in the app to align with your workflow and site-specific conditions by using the powerful drag-and-drop form builder in Dashpivot.
Can I build our own environmental risk assessment tool from scratch?
Yes, teams can build an environmental risk assessment tool from the ground up using the drag-and-drop builder. Fields for water, soil, air, and noise impacts can all be added to suit your project’s needs.
Can I generate dashboards from completed assessments?
Yes, the app can generate dashboards based on collected data from completed forms. Supervisors and managers can easily track outstanding actions and recurring environmental risks without the need to manually compile records.
Can multiple people contribute to the same assessment?
Yes, site staff, environmental officers, and supervisors can all add information to the same assessment. All edits are saved and timestamped, as long as contributors have the right permissions.
What happens to the workflow when a significant environmental risk is identified?
Dashpivot’s notification system alerts the assigned supervisor once a significant risk is flagged. From there, the supervisor can assign a corrective action, restrict the affected activity, and require a follow-up assessment before work resumes.
