Structured by area and task
Model sites, departments, workstations and tasks. Group similar workstations instead of assessing each one separately.
Risk assessment
Risk assessments that keep pace with your operations
EHS Go guides you through the assessment of every work area – from hazard identification and risk rating to an effective control. The outcome is not a binder on a shelf but a structured record that is easy to keep current.
In practice
Hazards at the machine
In a plant with lathes, presses and crane runways, every workstation brings its own hazards. EHS Go structures the assessment by hall, machine and task – from set-up through running operation to maintenance – and shows at a glance where controls are still open.
01Features
What the module does
Hazard catalogue with regulatory references
Guiding questions for each hazard type, each linked to the relevant rule – for example the German technical rules for workplaces (ASR).
Risk matrix
Likelihood and potential severity produce a transparent rating – before and after a control has been implemented.
AI suggestions as drafts
The AI proposes typical hazards, wording for the current situation and suitable controls. Nothing is applied until you confirm it.
Photos and voice input on site
Use the mobile app to capture conditions at the workstation – with a photo, text or dictation.
Revisions and approvals
Every version is retained with date and author. Export a single area or an entire site for authorities and auditors.
02Workflow
How it works in EHS Go
- 01
Prepare
Define the units of assessment, name the people involved and import existing documents.
- 02
Identify and rate
Work through the hazard types, describe the current situation and place the risk in the matrix.
- 03
Define controls
Select controls following the hierarchy of controls. Each control gets an owner and a due date.
- 04
Verify and update
Confirm effectiveness once a control is in place. When operations change, update only the affected part.
03Legal basis
Regulatory context
The EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC obliges every employer to hold an assessment of the risks to safety and health at work. In Germany, section 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG) requires the assessment to cover psychological stress, and section 6 requires the results and controls to be documented. Internationally, ISO 45001 sets out a comparable process for hazard identification and risk assessment.
Key regulations
- Directive 89/391/EEC, Art. 6 and 9
- ArbSchG §§ 5–6
- ISO 45001, clause 6.1.2

05Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How often should a risk assessment be reviewed?
German law does not set a fixed interval. A review is due when processes, equipment or substances change, after accidents and near misses, and whenever there are signs that controls are not working. Many organisations also review on a fixed cycle, for example once a year.
Can we import our existing risk assessments?
Yes. During onboarding we migrate existing assessments from Word, Excel or other systems so you do not start from scratch.
Are psychosocial risks covered?
Yes. Psychological stress is one of the hazard types you assess in EHS Go. It is documented and linked to controls in the same way as any other hazard.
Who can edit and approve risk assessments?
You decide through roles and permissions – for example, line managers for their own area and the safety specialist across all sites. Read-only roles see the approved version only.
