Watch a 2-minute walkthrough of risk matrices, control measures, and the centralised risk register.
Everything you need to identify, assess, and control workplace risks
Six core capabilities that replace Word-based assessments, scattered spreadsheets, and manual review tracking.
Risk Matrices
Configurable 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 likelihood-severity matrices with automatic colour-coded risk ratings and scoring.
COSHH Assessments
Dedicated COSHH templates with substance identification, hazard classification, exposure routes, PPE requirements, and SDS attachments.
Fire Risk Assessments
Structured fire risk templates covering ignition sources, fuel sources, people at risk, fire detection, and escape routes.
Risk Registers
Centralised, searchable register showing inherent risk, control measures, residual risk, risk owner, and review dates at a glance.
Control Measures
Track each control measure with an owner, implementation date, effectiveness rating, and link to the residual risk calculation.
Review Scheduling
Configurable review frequencies by risk level with automatic reminders and escalation for overdue assessments.
Take the product tour
Explore Risk Assessment end-to-end, from hazard identification to ongoing review.
Identify hazards across every department and site
Log hazards systematically using configurable categories -- physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial. Each hazard is linked to the people at risk, existing controls, and the assessment owner.
- Hazard categories configurable to your industry
- Link people at risk: employees, contractors, visitors
- Multi-site hazard identification with location tagging
- Assessment ownership assignment with notifications
Score risks using configurable likelihood-severity matrices
Use 5x5, 4x4, or 3x3 matrices to score inherent risk. Each combination produces a colour-coded risk level -- red, amber, yellow, or green. The matrix scales are fully configurable to match your organisation's risk appetite.
- Configurable likelihood and severity scales
- Auto-calculated colour-coded risk ratings
- Separate inherent and residual risk scores
Implement and track control measures with accountability
Assign control measures to named owners with implementation deadlines. Each control has an effectiveness rating that feeds into the residual risk calculation. The hierarchy of controls (eliminate, substitute, engineering, admin, PPE) is built in.
- Hierarchy of controls framework built in
- Owner assignment with deadline tracking
- Effectiveness ratings recalculate residual risk
Monitor risk levels and control effectiveness in real time
Dashboards show risk distribution by level, department, and site. Track how residual risk changes as controls are implemented. Identify which departments have the highest risk concentrations and where controls need strengthening.
- Risk heatmaps by department and site
- Control effectiveness trend tracking
- Export reports for management review
Never miss a risk assessment review with automated scheduling
Set review frequencies by risk level -- high risks quarterly, medium risks bi-annually, low risks annually. Q-Hub sends automatic reminders before the review date and escalates overdue reviews to management.
- Configurable review frequencies by risk level
- Automatic reminders before review due dates
- Escalation for overdue assessments
From hazard identification to ongoing review in five steps
A structured risk assessment lifecycle that meets ISO 45001 and HSE expectations.
A single risk register for your entire organisation
Every risk assessment feeds into one centralised register. Filter by department, site, risk level, or assessment type. Each entry shows inherent risk, control measures, residual risk, owner, and next review date at a glance. Export to PDF or Excel for management review presentations.
- Searchable register with advanced filters
- Colour-coded risk levels for instant visibility
- Export to PDF and Excel for board reports
COSHH and fire risk assessments in one platform
Dedicated templates for COSHH and fire risk assessments sit alongside general risk assessments. COSHH templates include substance identification, hazard pictograms, exposure limits, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures. Safety data sheets attach directly to each record.
- Industry-standard COSHH assessment templates
- Fire risk templates covering all regulatory requirements
- SDS attachment and hazard pictogram library
