Document background
This Risk Assessment SOP serves as a critical operational document for organizations operating under Austrian jurisdiction, providing a structured framework for identifying and managing workplace hazards in compliance with the ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz (ASchG) and related regulations. The document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish or standardize their risk assessment procedures, ensure legal compliance, and maintain consistent safety standards across their operations. It includes comprehensive procedures for hazard identification, risk evaluation, control measure implementation, and documentation requirements specific to Austrian legal frameworks. The SOP is particularly important following organizational changes, introduction of new processes, or when updating existing safety procedures to meet current regulatory requirements.
