The Workplace Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required under Swiss occupational safety and health legislation, designed to help organizations systematically identify, assess, and control workplace risks. It must be conducted in accordance with the Federal Law on Accident Insurance (UVG/LAA), Swiss Labor Law (ArG/LTr), and EKAS Directive 6508. This document is required to be regularly updated and should be conducted whenever significant changes occur in the workplace, such as the introduction of new equipment, processes, or substances. It serves both as a legal compliance tool and a practical guide for maintaining workplace safety, requiring input from various stakeholders including management, safety specialists, and employee representatives.
