Good record keeping and reporting is essential for good corporate governance and management.

In order to comply with your legal obligations many regulations require you to keep hard copy records for statutory inspections and testing of Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) and Essential Safety Measures. These records are required as evidence for audit or incident investigation purposes. Failure to keep these records can result in penalties such as fines, possible closure of the building, loss of accreditation and may also adversely affect your insurance cover.

RiskMAP is a software based Record Keeping and Reporting System used by organisations to help manage statutory maintenance, inspection and testing obligations. RiskMAP software automatically generates the reports and records required to manage and demonstrate compliance.
