Document background
This Risk Assessment document serves as a mandatory workplace safety tool under Danish law, specifically required by the Working Environment Act (Arbejdsmiljøloven). It should be implemented when establishing new work processes, introducing new equipment or materials, or as part of regular workplace safety reviews (typically updated at least every three years or when significant changes occur). The assessment systematically identifies potential hazards, evaluates associated risks, and establishes control measures while ensuring compliance with Danish regulatory requirements. It forms a crucial part of an organization's safety management system and must be readily available to employees and workplace safety representatives. The document needs to be regularly updated and maintained as a living document, reflecting current workplace conditions and emerging risks.
