News
24 Nov 2008 - Removing date entry from risk assessment
Risk assessments now use the current date and do not allow or require users to enter a date for the risk assessment, as they did previously.
14 Nov 2008 - Send risk assessments to multiple email addresses
Previously, it was only possible to email a risk assessment to one person at a time. Now, you can enter multiple destination email addresses, separating them with a semi-colon (;).
7 Oct 2008 - Electronic Signatures
Teachers and lab assistants can now sign off risk assessments electronically.
22 Sep 2008 - Enhanced Data & Other Risks field
Significant enhancements and additions to the data provided on chemicals, equipment and living organisms. Also, the "Other Risks" field is now regularly reviewed for items to add to the database, so that you will not need to use it in future.
20 Aug 2008 - More info about the first release online
You can now see the RiskAssess flyer, a sample risk assessment and a screenshot on the risk assessment form on the first release information page.
9 Aug 2008 - User Name for Easier Log In
Previously, you needed to log in to Risk Assess with your full school name, even if this was quite long (eg, Sydney Grammar School For Boys). You can now have a short user name to log in with (eg, SGS), while still having your full school name displayed on Risk Assessments. Contact us if you would like a short user name set up for your school.
8 Aug 2008 - Improved Search
Improved search to include plurals. This means that you can now search on 'test tubes', and you will find 'test tube'. Previously, you needed to search for the singular versions of equipment and living organisms to find them.
