New Component Risk Assessment
Description
The risk assessment component supports you when executing, managing, and documenting risk assessments. The mapped process covers the following activities:
- Risk determination
- Risk analysis
- Risk assessment
- Definition of protection goals and safety measures
- Safety measure tracking
- Effectiveness check of the safety measures (achieving the protection goals)
- Documentation
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And beyond this process, the additional activity:
- Follow-on assessment as a result of changes
The prerequisite for executing risk assessments is risk determination. This involves the preliminary stage where all the work areas and agents that occur in the enterprise are systematically recorded. You do not enter this basic data in the risk assessment component, but in work area management and exposure management, which have been available since SAP EH&S Release 2.5.
You do, however, enter measured values and other amount information (amounts) in risk assessment. Here you can not only enter amounts manually but also use the amount determination function to read and transfer amounts from other applications, for example, from inventory management in the SAP component Materials Management. If you want to read amounts from other applications, you can enhance the function using user exits.
The actual risk determination in the context of the risk assessment involves relating work areas and agents to each other. You do this by assigning the work areas the agents you determined, for example, during the course of a site inspection. You can enter separate data records for the different operation statuses of the work areas and therefore make separate risk assessments.
In risk analysis you use defined methods (analysis methods) for each work area and operation status to examine the available information such as measured values for the agents determined. In the result you make an assessment (rating) of the risk situation.
In the next step you use the ratings you made on the basis of the analysis methods to determine the overall assessment of the risk situation. You can assign this overall assessment manually or let the system determine it automatically using an algorithm. You can overwrite automatic assessments manually.
You can define protection goals and IHS safety measures directly within the context of a risk assessment. As a result of integration, you can transfer safety measures with the appropriate Customizing settings (for example, technical safety measures) to the SAP component Plant Maintenance (PM) in the form of notifications as tasks to maintenance processing. Once they have been completed in PM, you can read the data back to Industrial Hygiene and Safety. The user who created the notification is informed by an e-mail in the SAPoffice inbox that the task has been completed and can then check the effectiveness of the safety measures.
All data on the risk assessment is documented in the SAP System and can be evaluated and displayed easily using the information system that is also newly available with Release 2.7.
If, for example, you want to change the conditions in a work area by installing a new piece of equipment, you can make a new analysis of the risk situation. To do this, you make a follow-on assessment. In this assessment, the header data of the assessment you already made and the amounts are transferred, but the risk analysis data and the safety measures are not assigned values and can therefore be edited again.
Effects on Customizing
To be able to use the new risk assessment component, you must process the following sections in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Industrial Hygiene and Safety:
- You must only edit this section if you want to extend the standard settings for status assignment in risk assessment to include user statuses.
- You must only edit this section if you want to enhance the search function for risk assessments or you want to read amounts from other applications in the amount determination function in addition to material stock data and movement data.
- Note the environment parameters relevant for risk assessment, in particular QTY_PERSON_CHECK (check personnel number in amounts). For more information, see the documentation in the IMG section Specify Environment Parameters
- In addition to the analysis methods included in the standard system (Comparison of measured value and reference value, analysis on the basis of the results of a survey (questionnaire), and analysis using standardized criteria), you can create up to three additional analysis methods.
Dependent functions
Work Area Patterns
To minimize time and effort when entering risk assessments, you can create standardized risk assessments and assign them to any number of work areas. To do this, you use the new function block work area patterns, available from SAP EH&S Release 2.7.
Exposure Profile
You can still use the exposure profile to enter estimated assessments of the exposure situation in work areas. To avoid data inconsistency between the assessments in risk assessment and the exposure profile, you can synchronize the data in risk assessment and the exposure profile by executing a matchup from either component.
You can also display the corresponding risk assessments for the entries in the exposure profile directly and create risk assessments from the exposure profile.
Cross-Application Function Questionnaire
The analysis method questionnaire uses the questionnaire function that is new to Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
