The Risk Register App Built for the Front Line

Record all information about an identified hazard using Sitemate’s Risk Register App. Powered by the Dashpivot platform, the app makes use of modern methods and tools, such as digital templates and AI, to streamline the process of registering hazards.

Why Risk Register management Is Harder than It Should Be

Incomplete information

Using paper-based forms to register hazards is often rushed due to the pressure to complete the forms and immediately initiate work, which can result in missing critical information needed to provide accurate measures.

Incomplete records cause repeated exposure

Incomplete forms provide inaccurate or inadequate safety measures, which potentially exposes employees to the hazards.

No visibility on hazard status

Supervisors don’t have the means to actively look at the risk status of hazards, which makes it hard to coordinate the needed safety measures.

Registers getting lost or misplaced

Paper-based registers can often get lost or misplaced, which negatively affects the audit trail.

A Smarter Risk Register App

Auto-generate risk registers from any source

Risk registers can easily be generated from field inspection findings, raised issues, or incident reports, complete with details, photos, and the needed measures.

Less manual data entry

Supervisors won’t need to write all the information about a newly identified hazard. Sitemate’s AI assistant can directly populate fields on the register by using context from recorded voice notes and photos.

Timely provision of measures

Once a new risk register is completed, notifications are automatically sent to relevant stakeholders so that timely measures are provided.

Registers getting lost or misplaced

Supervisors can see all identified risks recorded in the risk register in real time. They can actively identify which risks have measures in place and which measures are performing effectively.

How to use AI in the Risk Register App?

Storm, an AI assistant, has been integrated into the Dashpivot platform, which powers the Risk Register App. Storm can help users complete a compliant risk register by automatically populating fields in the register based on voice notes and photos, and it can also produce suitable safety measures to successfully control the identified hazards.

Data capture

Storm has the capability to extract information from photos, voice recordings, and written logs. Supervisors will just need to take pictures and describe or write findings, and Storm will automatically use this data for drafting the risk register.

Data mapping

Storm parses all photos, voice recordings, and written notes or logs. After parsing, it then accurately auto-populates fields in the risk register.

Review and approval

After all fields are populated, supervisors can immediately review the form and provide adjustments if needed. After reviewing, they can submit it to the relevant stakeholders for approval of needed safety measures.

Storage and retrieval

Once risk registers are signed off, they will be consolidated in a single cloud system. Users who want to access completed risk registers can simply use the search bar or use the filter feature.

How AI Helps With Risk Register

A smart risk register

  • Storm helps workers turn existing risk assessment forms, field photos, and voice notes into a risk register
  • Available on any device, the Risk Register App allows supervisors to complete risk registers directly on their mobile phones
  • Pre-built templates guide workers on the needed safety control measures, ensuring they don’t overlook anything
  • Digital timestamping, sign-offs, and photo capturing streamline traditional manual admin work.
  • Workers and supervisors can easily edit registers to align with new updates from work protocols and regulatory requirements
  • When a risk register is completed, stakeholders and supervisors receive instant notifications

Understanding Risk Register Software

What is a Risk Register App?

Sitemate's Risk Register App is a modern tool powered by the Dashpivot software that helps streamline the hazard recording process. The app provides an informative overview of hazards, including their likelihood of occurrence, potential impact, and proposed mitigation measures. It serves as a live tool that regularly updates in accordance with the changing company and external environment to ensure that all potential dangers are identified and managed.

Key components of an effective risk register app template

  • Asset or project identification and location details
  • Risk description with supporting photos and source reference
  • Likelihood and consequence ratings with risk score
  • Assigned owner and target close-out date
  • Required mitigation actions and current status
  • Sign-off and verification on risk close-out

Why tracking your risk register matters

Tracked risk registers provide the foundation for preventative risk management programs. By linking all risk entries back to project histories, project managers can identify recurring risk patterns, streamline mitigation schedules, and make data-driven decisions about contingency allocation. This shifts operations from reactive risk response to planned risk management — reducing costly surprises and giving stakeholders accurate, real-time visibility across the project portfolio.

Frequently asked questions about Risk Register App

What is included in a risk register template?

A risk register template includes a description of the identified hazard, risk scores, control measures, and required signatories for validation. Templates can be generated from existing safety systems or from photos and voice notes recorded in the field.

Does Dashpivot work even if offline?

Yes, Dashpivot can work even without internet connectivity. It stores all collected data, like photos and hazard notes, in the phone and automatically syncs when connectivity returns.

How does AI help when completing a risk register?

Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can extract data from risk assessments, incident reports, and photos or voice recordings taken from the field and auto-fill the relevant fields on the risk register. This process eliminates manual data entry, which significantly streamlines the risk recording process.

Can I update an existing risk register template?

Yes, you can easily update the risk register template to align with your workflow and site-specific hazards by using the powerful drag-and-drop form builder in Dashpivot.

How do I inform relevant stakeholders when a risk register is completed?

The Risk Register App has a notification system that can be configured to automatically notify relevant stakeholders when a risk register is completed, which eliminates the need for personal handoffs.

Can multiple people contribute to the same risk register?

Yes, several team members can add notes, hazards, or sign-offs to the same risk register. As long as they have the right permissions and save their work, the app saves and timestamps all edits made by contributors.

What happens if conditions change after a risk register has already been completed?

Employees can use the app to update the risk register and promptly notify the relevant team members. This keeps the safety measures from the risk registers up to date, rather than leaving outdated information in circulation on site.
