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.

How AI powers this CCOHS Risk Assessment App

Sitemate's AI agent Storm is integrated into the CCOHS Risk Assessment App to further streamline the process. Storm can immediately scan voice recordings and photos and directly auto-populate fields in the risk assessment. Personnel will only need to review the assessment before it's signed off.

Feed Storm the risk assessment details

Personnel conducting the assessment can use the voice recording feature while they walk through the task and site conditions, and take photos of hazards or controls, eliminating the need to manually input information.

Data mapping

Storm extracts insights from user input, voice notes, and photos, sorts the raw data, and uses those insights to populate the right data fields of the risk assessment.

Review of assessment draft

Personnel in charge of the assessment should review the auto-populated fields to ensure everything is correct, and add any missing context.

Supervisor review and approval

Supervisors will then review the assessment for any identified gaps before approving it for work to proceed. Any identified gaps will first be flagged for additional controls or revisions before work begins.

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.

How To Set Up a Digital CCOHS Risk Assessment Using Sitemate

Set up CCOHS Risk Assessment templates

First, you will need to create the templates that will be used as standard forms for all your CCOHS risk assessments. Supervisors can create these forms in Dashpivot, where they can add fields for project details, identified hazards, risk ratings, control measures, and responsible personnel.

Storm captures insights and context from all sorts of user input. Manual user prompts, voice notes, photo analysis, and automatic location and time capture are all taken into account in the form.

Set up notifications

Set up the notification workflow within Dashpivot to send automatic alerts to supervisors and project managers as soon as CCOHS risk assessments are logged.

Train personnel

Train personnel on how to use the CCOHS Risk Assessment App, especially on how to input data, photos, and voice recordings, collect signatures, and review the auto-populated fields.

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 a risk 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 a CCOHS risk assessment template on site.

Can I update an existing EHS risk assessment template in the app?

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

Can I build a comprehensive risk assessment template that covers multiple hazard types?

Yes, teams can build a comprehensive risk assessment template from the ground up using the drag-and-drop builder. Fields for chemical, physical, and health-related hazards can all be added to suit how your business assesses risk.

Can I generate dashboards from completed health risk assessment forms?

Yes, with Flowsite, you can generate dashboards based on collected data from completed forms. Supervisors and managers can easily track outstanding actions and recurring hazards without the need to manually compile records.

What happens to the workflow when a high risk is identified during an assessment?
