Risk Assessment

The Risk Assessment module provides an opportunity for customers to assess the risk presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to their operation, as well as to define the controls in place and actions necessary to properly plan and respond to the identified risk. 

Best Practices

• Review and Update Existing Assessments - The COVID-19 pandemic has likely introduced new risks to your operations.  Assess the level of risk and insure appropriate controls are in place.

• Consider Conducting New Assessments by Job Classification or Area - If you’re not already doing so, now may be a good time to assess the risks, including COVID-19 exposure, by job type or by area.

• Evaluate Hazards Resulting from Introduction of New Controls  - Keep in mind the introduction of new controls related to minimizing the exposure to COVID-19 in your workplace may potentially introduce additional hazards.  For example, cleaning and disinfection practices could potentially introduce new chemical exposure hazards.

Module Configurations

ProcessMAP is recommending the addition of new look-up values for the Hazard, Engineering Controls, and Administrative Controls fields, which have been validated with several customers.

Hazard:

• Disease-Causing Bacteria and Viruses

Engineering Controls:

• Physical Barriers

• Air-Handling Systems

•  Increased Ventilation Rates

• Decontamination Stations

Administrative Controls:

• Infectious Disease/ Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan

• Monitor Public Health Communications and Recommendations

• Communications with Employees

• Job-Specific Education and Training

• Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting

• Employee Health Monitoring

• Encourage Sick Employees to Stay Home

• Limit Access to Workplace (Customers, Public)

• Area Access Restriction(s)

• Physical Distancing

• Telework

•  Flexible Work Hours

System administrators have the ability to directly add these values within the module setup.

• Hazard: Module Setup > Risk Assessment > Setup > Hazards

• Engineering Controls: Module Setup > Risk Assessment > Lookup Values > Engineering Controls

• Administrative Controls: Module Setup > Risk Assessment > Lookup Values > Administrative/Procedural Controls

ProcessMAP is here to assist and can add the values on your behalf.  Please discuss your needs with your Customer Success Manager.
