Health & Safety: What Are Risk Assessment Reviewers, Managers and Revisions?

This guide explains the different responsibilities involved in managing Risk Assessments and why assessments may have multiple revisions.

Quick-Start Checklist

• Identify your assigned role.

• Review the assessment.

• Complete any required review or approval.

• Check the current revision.

• Contact your manager if your responsibilities are unclear.

1. What Is the Difference Between a Reviewer and a Manager?

Risk Assessment Reviewer

A reviewer examines an assessment and its contents, checking that relevant information is accurate and appropriate.

Risk Assessment Manager

A manager is responsible for managing the assessment process, including coordinating required reviews and approvals.

The actions available to each role depend on their assigned permissions.

2. Do All Assigned Managers Need to Approve an Assessment?

Approval requirements depend on the assessment's configuration and your organisation's approval process.

If you are unsure whether another manager's approval is required, check with the person responsible for the assessment.

3. Why Do Risk Assessments Save as New Revisions?

Revisions help preserve a record of changes made to an assessment.

When an assessment is updated, the system may create a new revision rather than replacing the previous version.

This helps users track changes and review earlier assessment information.

4. How Do I Know Which Version Is Current?

1. Open the relevant Risk Assessment.

2. Review the available revision or version information.

3. Confirm which version is currently active or approved.

4. Ask the responsible manager if the status is unclear.
