The CCOHS Risk Assessment App Built for the Front Line
Sitemate’s CCOHS Risk Assessment App is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log risk assessments at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with hazard identification, risk controls, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.
Why CCOHS 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 hazards and controls in line with CCOHS guidelines.
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 lost or damaged before they reach 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 safety and compliance.
A Smarter CCOHS 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 CCOHS 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 CCOHS Risk Assessment Software
What is a CCOHS Risk Assessment App?
A CCOHS Risk Assessment App is a tool that supervisors and safety personnel use to create risk assessments based on the framework set out by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. These assessments are usually carried out before work begins, and cover details on the hazards identified, the likelihood and severity of harm, and the controls needed to bring the risk down to an acceptable level. With a CCOHS Risk Assessment App, teams can keep a digital record of these assessments, as well as any updates made as conditions on site change.
What does a CCOHS Risk Assessment App help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and date
- Task or activity being assessed
- Identified hazards
- Likelihood and severity rating for each hazard
- 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
What regulations typically govern risk assessment requirements?
CCOHS, or the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, is the primary regulatory body in Canada that governs risk assessment requirements. Alongside provincial occupational health and safety legislation, this body generally places a duty on employers to identify and control workplace hazards. Many provinces require a documented risk or hazard assessment for specific high-risk activities, such as confined space entry or working at height, before the work can proceed. It is also important to note that, depending on the sector, additional codes may apply, such as those covering specific equipment or hazardous substances, which often carry their own assessment requirements.
