Free Risk Assessment Spreadsheet
Our Free Risk Assessment Spreadsheet provides a basic starting point for risk assessments. This is a limited and watermarked version of our Task Based Risk Assessment Spreadsheet. This free spreadsheet is not suitable for robotics or advanced applications.
We recommend using our ANSI/RIA Compliant Risk Assessment Spreadsheets. When completed in compliance with ANSI B11.0, our ANSI/RIA Compliant Risk Assessment Spreadsheets will satisfy the requirements of ISO 12100. These spreadsheets also include automatic determination of Circuit Category and Performance Level (PLr) in accordance with ISO-13849-1:2015.
This is a summary of the spreadsheet tools we offer and a brief description of typical applications.
- Free Risk Assessment Spreadsheet – Limited – Introductory, limited watermarked version of our basic risk assessment locked spreadsheet tool.
- Task Based Risk Assessment Spreadsheet – Unlimited unlocked spreadsheet tool, suitable for general machines, systems, or processes.
- ANSI/RIA Compliant Risk Assessment Spreadsheet – Unlimited unlocked spreadsheet tool, suitable for complex, modern machinery, including robotics. Includes look-up tables for Performance Level and Circuit Category.
- ANSI/RIA Compliant Risk Assessment Spreadsheet – Enhanced Three State – Unlimited unlocked Enhanced version of our unlimited ANSI/RIA Compliant Risk Assessment Spreadsheet clarifies risk assessment requirements for the “three states” of machine safeguarding: without safeguarding, existing safeguarding, and future safeguarding. Standard risk assessment tools only track two states, “before/after”, leaving room for ambiguity and confusion in the risk assessment process. This new “three state” tool allows you to comply with ANSI/RIA standards, and easily track all “three states” in one spreadsheet!
The purpose of the Team Based Risk Assessment (TBRA) is to identify the human risk presented by the machine or processing being analyzed. In a TBRA, a multi-disciplined team identifies tasks and risks associated with the machine or process. For complex machinery or systems, our Team Based Risk Assessment is an essential process that is required to develop practical, detailed risk reduction measures.
