Document background
The Risk Assessment Report is a mandatory document under Austrian workplace safety legislation, specifically required by the ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz (ASchG) and related regulations. It must be prepared for all workplaces and updated regularly or when significant changes occur. The report systematically identifies workplace hazards, evaluates associated risks, and documents control measures while ensuring compliance with both Austrian and EU safety standards. It serves multiple purposes including demonstrating legal compliance, protecting worker safety, informing safety improvements, and documenting risk management practices. The document is particularly crucial for high-risk industries but is required across all sectors where workers may be exposed to occupational hazards.
