A risk register that lives inside the work
Dynamic risk registers, RAMS, COSHH and controls connected to incidents, observations, audits, actions, permits, assets and training — so risk reflects this week’s reality, not last year’s workshop.
What hurts today
Static registers
A risk register reviewed annually is a historical document, not an operating control.
Controls unverified
Registers list controls; they rarely prove whether those controls are in place and working.
No line of sight
Leadership cannot connect the register to what is happening on site today.
How Risk Management works on Onos
Living registers
Risks linked to live data from incidents, observations, inspections, actions and permits.
Control verification
Controls connect to inspections, documents, training records and evidence. Unverified controls are flagged.
RAMS and COSHH connected
Risk assessments, method statements and chemical assessments sit in the same operating record as the work.
Escalation thresholds
Risks breaching tolerance trigger review workflows and leadership visibility automatically.
100% controls traceable to evidence
Who gets what
Site staff
- Contractor RAMS have to be site-specific before Onos will approve them — no more generic documents with the wrong site name copied in.
- Risk assessments, method statements and COSHH sit in the same record as the work itself, so you’re not hunting a separate system.
- Multi-step approval workflows won’t let an incomplete RAMS through, so the paperwork protects you before the work starts.
EHSQ admins
- Every risk assessment type sits in one place, with automated annual review reminders so nothing goes years out of date.
- Template libraries cut creation time from 2 hours to 15 minutes.
- Controls link to inspections, documents and training records — unverified controls get flagged, not assumed.
Leadership
- Enterprise-wide visibility shows which projects have current assessments, which are overdue, and whether incidents occurred anyway.
- Q combines the register with overdue actions, incident velocity, inspection gaps and contractor compliance, so rising risk is visible before it lands.
- Contractor RAMS are linked to that contractor’s incident history and discipline record, not reviewed in isolation.
What’s in the module
- RAMS — list view across sites, templates for internal and subcontractor requests, multi-step approval and review
- SOP / SSOW bank for common tasks to cut repeat drafting
- Sign-off capture, communication log, versioning and full change history
- Share RAMS by QR code, SMS, email or magic link — subcontractors access via secure simple sign-in
- Risk assessments with configurable severity × likelihood matrix, control measures, residual risk and overall task grading
- Automated annual review with versioning and notifications
- COSHH assessments with safety data sheets, integrated with RAMS
- Manual handling (TILE) and Display Screen Equipment assessments issued to staff via app
- Integration with Incidents, Disciplines, Staff and Company records
Q scores risk from the whole operating system.
Q combines registers with operational signals — overdue actions, incident velocity, inspection gaps, contractor compliance, permit status and observation patterns — so rising risk is visible before it lands.
The old way vs. with Onos
Assessment creation
The old way
2 hours from a blank template
With Onos
15 minutes using pre-built templates
Annual reviews
The old way
Forgotten — assessments years out of date
With Onos
Automated reminders enforce a systematic review cycle
Assessment usage
The old way
Filed away, not referenced during planning
With Onos
Linked to permits and RAMS, driving work planning
Incident analysis
The old way
No way to know if an assessment prevented anything
With Onos
Analytics link incidents to assessments, revealing gaps
Contractor RAMS
The old way
Reviewed in isolation from safety performance
With Onos
Linked to contractor incident history and discipline record

“By adopting the Onos EHSQ Platform, we’ve fully digitised and streamlined our environmental, health and safety data—empowering us to anticipate risks, drive down incidents, stay ahead of compliance requirements, and track our carbon emissions all within one super‑intuitive system. This transformation has not only strengthened our safety culture but also advanced our sustainability goals.”
