Risk assessment software for UK businesses

Every employer in the UK must assess the risks to their workers and anyone else affected by their work. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the assessment must be suitable and sufficient, and if you have five or more employees you must record the significant findings.

The hard part is not knowing the law. It is finding the time to write good assessments, keep them up to date and make sure the actions actually happen. MYRA Compliance makes that quick.

Start from over 100 templates

You rarely need to start with a blank page. MYRA Compliance includes a library of over 100 ready made risk assessment templates covering common work activities, from manual handling and display screen work to working at height, hot work and workplace transport. Search by keyword, filter by category, type and risk level, then tailor the template to your site.

Score every hazard the same way

Each hazard in an assessment is scored for likelihood and consequence from 1 to 5, giving a risk score out of 25. The highest scoring hazard sets the overall risk level, from low to critical, so the assessments that need attention first are easy to find. Everyone on your team scores risk the same way, which makes assessments easier to compare and defend.

AI that suggests hazards and controls

Describe the activity and location, and MYRA can suggest the hazards that are likely to be present, from physical and chemical hazards to manual handling and stress. For each hazard, it can suggest control measures that follow the hierarchy of controls: eliminate, substitute, engineer, then administrative controls and PPE. You stay in charge and choose what goes into the assessment.

Bring in the assessments you already have

Most businesses already have risk assessments in Word documents, PDFs or on paper. Upload them and MYRA reads the document, pulls out the hazards, controls and actions, and shows you everything to check before it is saved as a draft. Your original file stays attached, so nothing is lost.

Covering the assessments you need

MYRA Compliance handles general risk assessments as well as specialist types, including fire, manual handling, workplace transport, hazardous substances, confined spaces and working at height. Link each assessment to the location it covers, so you can see every assessment for a site in one place.

Keep them current

Risk assessments must be reviewed when things change and at regular intervals. Every assessment in MYRA has an assessor, an assessment date, a review date and a status of draft, under review or approved, so you always know which ones are current and which need another look.
