Document background
The Local Risk Assessment is a critical document required under Swiss regulatory framework, particularly under the Swiss Labor Law (ArG) and related ordinances. It serves as a comprehensive tool for organizations operating in Switzerland to identify, evaluate, and manage potential risks in their operations. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with Swiss workplace safety regulations, when implementing new processes or technologies, or when significant changes occur in the operational environment. The Local Risk Assessment includes detailed analysis of workplace hazards, operational risks, and control measures, incorporating both mandatory regulatory requirements and industry best practices. It is particularly important for organizations subject to Swiss regulatory oversight and those seeking to maintain robust risk management frameworks in their Swiss operations.
