Risk assessment software launch

Launching the latest version of its Risk
Management Software System at
Health and Safety ’10 – South is
Laidler Associates, the safety and
compliance consultants. The software
gives guidance on risk assessments for
the working environment; CE
Marking to the Machinery Directive
and PUWER 98.

The latest version has been fully
updated to cover the requirements of
the new Machinery Directive,
2006/42/EC, compliance with which
became mandatory from 29th
December 2009. Other enhancements
include an option for users to decide
whether they work to ISO EN 13849-1
or EN954-1 for the safety of
machinery, and an on-disk copy of
the Health and Safety Executive’s new
PUWER Approved Code of Practice.

The software covers PUWER 98
requirements and CE marking for
machines, however, its modular
design means, that it can be enhanced
to suit the needs of individual users by
adding modules to deal with their
specific requirements.

All modules guide the user through
the steps necessary for compliance
using a simple question-and-answer
approach that ensures that every step
is properly completed. The modules
then generate detailed reports in a
uniform format, making it easy to
fully document risk assessment
processes and, in the case of CE
marking, to produce the essential
technical files. If non-compliances are
found, a ‘to do’ list is created, listing
items in order of risk. Further benefits
of the system include being able to
store reports electronically.
