Risk Manager is a flexible management system, configurable to meet the various requirements of different industry sectors.

Selection of the most appropriate sector(s) and activities allows clients to import the specific; Information, Records, Risk assessments, and Diary functions into their system.

Beyond this flexible functionality is the ability to add bespoke content for specialist application to client specific operations. (see Bespoke Content section).

Your system is branded at individual Site or Group level with your company name and logo. Such branding of your Health & Safety System of Management reinforces the message to employees that the company take Health and Safety very seriously.

The structure of the Risk Manager systems is such that there is a core of common requirements and functions that may then be added to by selection of particular operational functions of your business e.g. you may have administrative 'Offices' with 'Light Assembly' or 'Trade Warehouse' or 'Retail' activities on the same location.

On set-up, we enable those areas for you and import the relevant; Information, Records and Risk Assessment examples that you may edit to be applicable to your operations. These are included within your licence at no additional cost.

Where there are site, or, operationally specific requirements, to incorporate new records, documents, or, documents from existing paper based systems within the system, this facility is provided on a quoted cost basis.

Similarly, the Diary, Task, Auto-E Mail, functions can be tailored to client requirements.

The system functionality facilitates auto-population of documents e.g. Policy, Manual, Employee Handbook, with e.g. names of duty holders such as Directors, Co-ordinators, First Aiders, Fire Marshals.

The system also facilitates the attachment and storage of documents and photographs to Records e.g. Accident scene photographs.

As the range of health and safety risks encountered in a typical motor dealership range from the front of house / showroom risks to customers, to diverse risks in workshops, risks from hazardous chemicals, iso-cyanate compounds in paints, through to risks following service and repair activities.

As a consequence there are over 30 health and safety regulations applicable to motor dealerships. Management of the requirements is then potentially a complex and time consuming task, Risk Manager facilitates an effective process to efficiently manage those many requirements.

Environmental risk management for motor dealerships reflects the range of activities and waste streams generated. Many wastes are classified as Hazardous under the European and UK legislation. As such they require mandatory controls and records to be in place. Risk Manager provides a system of management to manage those requirements.

After you have logged in to your system, your system front page has 5 main operating menu headings;

There are also 4 functional headings;

As a pro-active measure, when your data has been entered into your system, you could login to your system once per week, enter the Diary page, and perform the actions the Diary automatically directs. This will take typically less than 30 minutes.

Alternatively, you could operate on a re-active basis and login when you had received an automatic E Mail reminder and complete the actions required.

The intent being that the time you save in having a systemised approach will free up the time for more executive management of people in the business to ensure they are actually working safer.
