Assessments¶
The first thing to do in Riskrunner, is to create an assessment. An assessment is a way to group your risks together in a logical way. For example, you can create an assessment for a project, an asset or a site. The exact way to group your risks depends on your organisation and how you want to use Riskrunner.

Adding an assessment¶

To add a new assessment, click Add which will bring up an editor:
When you create an assessment, it’s a good idea to describe the scope and purpose of what you’re assessing, and who the intended audience is. That will make it easier to decide how to do the assessment regarding the risks to include, what type of language to use and the required level of detail.

If you click save, you have a new assessment that you can edit or delete. The next step would be to add a hazard or review.
