The SHARD Risk Assessment module is designed as a practical authoring system, not a document archive, that allow quick yet thorough risk assessments with end-to-end visibility.
It is organised around five clear areas: Home, Risk Assessments, Boilerplates, Templates, and REACTOR Blueprints.
The first implementation focuses on manual authoring. Users can create assessment instances, build individual risk lines, assign hazards and effects, select controls, score risk using a classic five-by-five methodology, and keep the record scoped to an organisation, project, or department.
A key design decision is that assessment data is normalised into relational records rather than stored as a single large block of content. That makes future review, approval, linking, reporting, and automation significantly easier to build.
The module draws hazards, effects, controls, PPE, emergency items, and equipment from the shared PEMA catalogue, a bespoke safety code developed by CERB-Group. Users select real catalogue entries, which help the risk assessment to behaves like an operational record: structured, searchable, linkable, and ready for later automation and advanced analytics that tie into the permit system, incident investigation routes. This then helps to inform future learnings and well informed inductions for crew and staff :
