The Hazard and Risk Assessment is a crucial document required by Swiss federal law to ensure workplace safety and regulatory compliance. It is typically prepared when establishing new operations, implementing significant changes to existing processes, or as part of regular safety reviews mandated by Swiss legislation. The assessment follows strict Swiss methodologies and standards, particularly those set by SUVA and EKAS, and must be regularly updated to reflect changing workplace conditions. This document serves as both a legal requirement and a practical tool for risk management, forming the foundation for safety protocols and emergency procedures. It requires input from various stakeholders and must be tailored to specific industry requirements while maintaining compliance with federal and cantonal regulations.
