What is HIRARC?

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control

HIRARC is a structured, systematic process used to identify workplace hazards, evaluate the likelihood and consequences of those hazards, and implement suitable control measures to reduce workplace risk effectively.

Why Implement HIRARC?

Key outcomes of an effective HIRARC risk management process

01

Identify Hazards

Systematically pinpoint workplace hazards before they result in workplace incidents or injuries.

02

Evaluate Risks

Consistently evaluate likelihood and severity to understand workplace risk exposure.

03

Prioritize Action

Focus resources where they matter most by prioritizing critical risk reduction efforts.

04

Implement Controls

Deploy appropriate control measures following the established hierarchy of controls.

05

Review Performance

Continuously review control effectiveness to maintain safe operating conditions.

06

Continual Improvement

Improve overall workplace safety performance and maintain regulatory compliance.

Executive Management Visibility

A well-managed HIRARC programme provides management with full visibility into workplace risks, supporting informed decision-making and protecting operational continuity.

The Paper & Spreadsheet Bottleneck

Why Digital HIRARC Management Matters

Managing workplace risk assessments with paper forms and spreadsheets creates operational friction, exposes your organization to compliance gaps, and hinders multi-site safety visibility.

10 Critical Vulnerabilities of Legacy HIRARC

Common operational issues faced when managing hazard assessments manually

Duplicate Risk Assessments
Different departments recreate identical risk records without knowing prior assessments exist.
Inconsistent Scoring
Subjective evaluation without enforced matrix rules leads to unreliable risk rankings.
Opaque History
Difficulty reviewing historical risk assessments and tracking evolution over time.
Limited Site Visibility
Siloed spreadsheets conceal high-risk trends across multiple plants or projects.
Manual Approvals
Paper-based approval workflows cause bottlenecks and stall critical safety measures.
Unmonitored Controls
No real-time tracking to ensure risk controls remain active and effective.
Delayed Risk Reviews
Scheduled annual reviews get missed or postponed due to lack of automated alerts.
Version Control Issues
Teams work off outdated Excel files, leading to incorrect safety protocols.
No Management Reporting
Compiling executive risk metrics requires days of painful manual aggregation.
Time-Consuming Audits
Locating paper records during safety audits drains valuable productivity and team focus.
The NeoEHS Advantage
