Document background
The Risk Assessment Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in Austria, establishing a structured approach to identifying, evaluating, and managing various types of risks. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with Austrian regulatory requirements, particularly the ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz (ASchG), GDPR, and industry-specific regulations. The policy encompasses workplace safety assessments, environmental risk evaluations, data protection impact assessments, and business continuity risk analyses. It is designed to meet the specific requirements of Austrian law while incorporating international best practices in risk management. The document is particularly crucial for organizations seeking to establish or update their risk management framework in response to regulatory changes, organizational growth, or evolving risk landscapes.
