Risk Assessment Suggestions
-
When your RAMS has processed, Intuety shows suggestions to improve your risk assessment: hazards, risks and control measures that may be missing. It uses machine learning, real-world data and your own company standards. You stay in control: nothing is added unless you choose to insert it.
What do the priority levels mean?
- High priority – from your company's SOPs or standards. These should never be missed.
- Medium priority – closely related to your task, but not from your company standards.
- Low priority – general industry suggestions not specific to your company.
What is SIF?
SIF (Serious Injury and Fatality) suggestions focus on hazards that can cause serious injuries or fatalities. In Intuety they are shown as Critical Risks. The floating menu in the suggestions area has three options: SOPs, Critical Risks and Suggestions. Select Critical Risks to see them. If your organisation does not have Critical Risks switched on, the option shows a padlock. You can also filter by SIF under Source in the filter drawer on the left.
Why am I getting a suggestion?
The pill-shaped tags on each suggestion show where it came from, for example In Your SOPs, In Your Sector, Matched Your Activity or Matched Your Risk.
How do I use suggestions?
- Review each suggestion.
- Select Insert to add it to your risk assessment. You can also edit it. To leave one out, simply move on.
- When finished, open the action menu (the + bubble, bottom right) and select Confirm Suggestions. If you have an edit that is not saved or not valid, Confirm Suggestions stays greyed out until you fix it.
The pull-out drawer on the right shows your original risk assessment plus everything you have inserted, so you can see the full picture without cluttering the page.
How do I filter suggestions?
Open the filter drawer on the left. Use Sort by to sort by None, Mitigation count or Alphabetical. You can filter by Type (Risks or Hazards), Mitigation level (High, Medium or Low), Source (SOPs, SIF, Risk or Mitigations), Status (Inserted) and Activities. In the Critical Risks view you can also filter by Control type (Direct or Indirect). Indirect controls are the same as secondary controls. Mitigation level is not available in the Critical Risks view.
Getting the best suggestions
- Upload in Word (.docx).
- Use a clear table with one hazard, one risk and its control measures per row. See the ideal risk assessment format.
- Connect your company standards through the SharePoint integration so High priority suggestions reflect your SOPs.
After confirming
Open the action menu and select Submit for Acceptance to send your RAMS to your reviewers. See How to add, remove or change reviewers on a job (Link). If you uploaded a Word file, you can download the Amended Risk Assessment with your inserted suggestions. See Cannot download the amended RAMS? if it does not work.
