Document background
The Risk Assessment Methodology document serves as a foundational framework for organizations operating in Austria to systematically identify, evaluate, and manage risks across their operations. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish or update their risk management processes in compliance with Austrian regulations, particularly the ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz (ASchG) and relevant EU directives. The methodology incorporates both mandatory legal requirements and industry best practices, providing a structured approach to risk assessment that can be adapted to various organizational contexts. It includes detailed procedures for risk identification, analysis, and mitigation, along with specific documentation requirements and review processes mandated by Austrian law.
