Risk Assessments

Written by Traffio
Updated over a week ago

In Traffio, Risk Assessments are a type of Form Element, meaning they can be created and attached to Forms as needed, either on their own, or in combination with other form elements. The Risk Assessments feature is especially useful for completing Job Safety Analysis (JSA) documents, where the form can optionally be pre-filled by office-staff, and added to on the field by field-workers.

The Risk Assessments feature consists of two main parts. A Risk Assessment Builder in the web app (for office staff to fill in and make available to their field-workers via a Form), and the Form Submission in the mobile app (for field-workers to fill in and submit).


Creating Risk Assessment in Web Portal

  1. Navigate to Forms on the sidebar

  2. Select the Risk Assessments tab

  3. Click +New

  4. Enter a Name and optional Description

  5. Choose a Risk Matrix
    This will be the Risk Matrix that is filled in by the field-worker when identifying Hazards (initial risk) and implementing Control Measures (residual risk).
    Please note: Risk Matrices are currently not customisable or able to be created by users. If you have a Risk Matrix you need put into Traffio, please submit a feature request and it will be considered.

  6. Click Create

  7. You will now be able to enter Activities, Hazards & Controls

  8. To get this form to your field-workers' mobile-apps:

    1. Create a Form, and attach the newly created Risk Assessment (or any previously saved Risk Assessment) to the Form.

    2. Make the Form available to your field workers' mobile apps, make sure to Publish and Activate it.
      Please note, availability of the Form depends on the conditions chosen during the form creation process.


Submitting Risk Assessment on Mobile App

The following instructions are for the Traffio Mobile App, and assumes the form has been made available Anytime during the form creation process:

  1. Go to the Forms tab

  2. Select the form that includes the Risk Assessment

  3. You’ll see any Activities already added by the office in the Web Portal

  4. Choose an existing Activity, or add a new Activity to identify related Hazards

  5. After selecting an Activity, choose an existing Hazard or add a new one.

    Hazards created in the Web Portal cannot be edited or deleted in the mobile app, but they can be enabled or disabled.

  6. Tap +Add a control (or + Add another control) under the relevant Hazard
    Controls created in the Web App cannot be edited or deleted in the mobile app, but they can be enabled or disabled to reflect whether they’ve been implemented
