Introduction
This information guide will assist the user with creating, managing/editing and using the Legal Registers and Risk Assessment features on Safety 360 Elite.
Safety 360 Elite is aligned to ISO31000
To create and use a Legal Register and Risk Assessment on the system the following must be in place:
- Employees created on system with user access granted.
- User has the Risk Assessor hse role assigned.
Only users with the role of Risk Assessor can create/manage/edit Risk Assessments.
The Risk Assessment process on Safety 360 Elite comprises of the following steps:
Legal Register
On the left navigation pane of Safety 360 Elite, click the Legal Register icon . This will take the user to the main Legal Register page shown below
The Legal Register makes reference to the following legislation:
Legal Compliance Audit

To find it: Navigate to Checklist -> Build a New Checklist -> Build from Library -> Search “Legal”. Audit can be customized by control user.
Populate Legal Register
The Legal Register forms the basis of Risk Management in Safety 360 Elite. Here the user would select the relative legal legislation that applies to their company as well as the Responsible Person, Applicable Region, and most importantly Controls Implemented.
Use slider to mark as Applicable or Not Applicable.
Click + next to relevant heading to add new item.
All added info can be removed by clicking the X.
These Controls will be used in the Risk Assessment process to quickly pull in required items when adding Legal Reference to your Risk Assessment.
Control Types allow users to assign a heading to the listed control, starting with Opportunity all the way down to PPE.
Here users can mark if listed control is Existing (already in place) or Planned (still to be put in place).
A Description of the control can be entered here.
Once the user has entered all info, click Add to log legislation and info as Applicable to your organisation.

All completed and approved Safe Working Procedure’s will be listed here,
This will show all completed Planned Task Observations along with filters for easy management.
Risk Assessments that have been Archived will be displayed here. These can be returned by Control User.
Here you can customize and create unique and specific risk methodologies to be used. There are 3 base options to choose from
Here users will find registers for all Hazards, Risks and Controls listed while creating their risk assessments.
RA Methodologies
Safety 360 Elite has 3 base methodology options to choose from. These can be used as is, or customized through the Methodologies card on main risk page.
New Risk Assessment
By clicking the New Risk Assessment card, users will be taken to the main creation page. Information added here can be updated at a later stage.

The user can choose between default or custom methodologies. The bottom portion of screen will display methodology info based on selection.
Risk Assessment Types
There are three types of Risk Assessments: Baseline, Project & Daily.
Risk Assessment
Once the user has completed the set-up phase, the risk assessment is stored and can be found under the main Risk Assessment card.
The user will now be taken to the risk builder
Safety 360 Elite Risk Assessment flows Event (Task) -> Risk Source (Hazard) -> Risks & Controls
Adding a new Task (Event).
Here users will start the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment process by adding the Task (Event) up for investigation.
Users can also add a description (optional).
Once added, the task will have a line item which can be expanded by clicking on it.
From here the user can either add the rest of the tasks and then add the next layer, or go directly into Identifying hazards for assessment by expanding the Task and adding Hazard (next slide).
Once that Task line item is expanded it will show the Add Hazards button as seen below:
Users can choose selections based on Methodology of risk assessment.
The risk score will be automatically calculated based on selection.
After adding the Hazard description along with rating selection, the Hazard will be listed with its raw risk score. This Hazard line item can also be expanded to last level where we can add Risks, Controls and Legal References
Raw Risk -> Add Controls -> Update input based on effectiveness of Controls -> Residual Risk.
Once you have identified your Risks and listed your Controls, you can add your Residual Risk. This is the updated score after considering your controls. Remember that ratings will always be A if the worst outcome is possible.
RA Dashboard
The Risk Assessment Dashboard is where users can submit/review risk assessments, view current and previous versions as well as create Safe Working Procedures (SWP).
VIEW → This will show all information currently loaded in risk assessment.
EDIT → Here users can add/remove content of the risk assessment. Users can add Collaborators* that can help them edit and build the risk assessment.
SUBMIT → This will send the risk assessment to all reviewers to view and sign.

Risk Assessment Details
This displays all the risk assessment information including Name, Methodology, version and Applicability.
The creator, or Collaborators can click the Pencil icon to update Risk Assessment Details.
By default the creator is the only person able to edit a risk assessment. They can add members under the Collaborators tab shown below. Collaborators can have Edit, Review or Both roles assigned. If a Collaborator has the Review permission, their name will move under Reviewers heading.
All new risks create Non Conformances in Safety 360 Elite. This allows the tracking, monitoring and closure through the Non Conformance tool. If you are building a baseline and would like to bulk close out Non Conformances, click the Icon as shown below.
Click here to open the NCR page, here you can see all NCR’s and by clicking top right Close All, the users can close out all NCR’s.
Safe Working Procedures (SWP)
For creating Safe Working Procedures (SWP’s) on Safety 360 Elite, the user has 2 options:
Through Baseline Assessment

Once a SWP is approved the user will have access to the PDF document on the main SWP Dashboard.
Also available for approved SWP’s are QR Codes and Planned Task Observations.
By clicking the QR Code icon on the SWP Dashboard, the user will be shown the QR Code unique to specific SWP as well as a URL link.
The QR Code can be printed and displayed at high risk areas to ensure employees have quick access to SWP.
Planned Task Observations (PTO)
Planned Task Observations (PTOs) can be conducted on approved SWP’s by clicking the Observation Eye icon (next to the QR code) shown below, and then clicking YES. This will only be available for Approved SWPs.
The PTO process starts by selecting the Observer (user doing the check) and Observee (employee being checked)
The Observer list will only show employees with user access as they need to use system to conduct PTO, Observee list will show all employees.
The content of the PTO will be unavailable until Participants have been selected.
Once Participants have been selected, PTO information will become available.
This will show all the information added in SWP under headings.
Here the Observer will be able to confirm whether the Observee is adhering to the SWP and whether the SWP, ands it requirements, are still valid.
The options for each entry are:
- Complying
- Not Complying
- Not Complying – Change Requested
- Not Applicable
Each Observation can be made using:
Complying →Everything is as it should be
Not Complying →This indicates a problem, the system will generate a NCR
Not Complying Change Required →This logs a change request for Risk Assessor to take action
NA →Excludes specific item from observation
Comments can be optionally added to all selection, but are required for Not Complying items. It is important to remember to Confirm each observation.
Once all required information has been added, the signature options will be available.
There will be green ticks next to Observer and Observee names once all signatures are in place.
Clicking Confirm PTO will also allow the PTO to be confirmed and completed.
Completed PTOs can be found on the main Risk Assessment page.
All completed PTOs will appear on this register and users can use the filters to find specific entries.

If this role is not assigned, the user will not be able to use reports. The report tabs are colour coded for ease of use.
There are currently 4 types of Risk Reports available on Safety 360 Elite:
User : Reports on Risk Assessments by user
Regions : Reports on Risk Assessments by region
SWP’s : Reports on SWPs with number of Observations
PTO’s : Reports on PTOs with number of Observations
These reports also include all the normal Reports filters that can be applied as needed: Date range, Users selection, Regions, Statuses (drafting/approved/rejected).
Risk Registers
Safety 360 Elite Risk Management also includes Risk Registers. These are Registers showing you all the information captured during your Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification process.
On the main Risk Assessment page you will find Registers as the last card. Inside you will find the following:
