What is HIRA?

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment(HIRA) is a systematic process to identify workplace hazards, evaluate the associated risks, and implement appropriate control measures. It's a fundamental requirement for ISO 45001 and essential for proactive safety management.

Our digital HIRA platform guides teams through comprehensive risk assessments. Use risk matrices to prioritize hazards, document control measures, track implementation of controls, and maintain a living HIRA register that evolves with your operations.
