Hazard log overview

What the hazard log holds, how its pages fit together, and how to read the hazard log screen.

Quick summary

• The hazard log holds your hazards, their causes, the controls on each cause and the evidence behind each control.
• Some hazard log columns, such as likelihood and severity, are hidden until you show them with View.
• The hazard log hides archived items until you add the Archived filter from the funnel in the toolbar.

How the hazard log fits together

A hazard has causes, each cause has controls, and each control carries evidence. See The four objects.

• Build it: Set up hazard IDs and statuses, Create a hazard, Causes, controls and evidence, Manage your hazard log with AI and Risk scales and thresholds.
• Keep it current: Manage hazards.
• Sign it off and share it: Approve and version your hazard log, Share and publish your hazard log and Export a hazard log.

Read the hazard log

Clinical Safety → Hazard Log has 3 tabs: Hazard Log, Causes and Controls. Above them, the Hazards and Controls tiles follow your filters and the product you select. None on the Hazards tile’s Residual Risk bar means a hazard isn’t rated yet.

On the Hazard Log tab, the toolbar narrows the table:

Control	What it does
Products and Status	Show only those products or statuses, and Reset clears every filter
The funnel	Adds Archived (archived items are hidden by default) and Tags filters
Expand	Opens every hazard’s causes and controls inline
View	Shows, hides and reorders columns, including some hidden by default, such as likelihood, severity and the justifications, though Hazard ID always stays

To change several hazards at once, tick their rows. A bar shows how many are selected, with:

• Products and Status to set them all together.
• ⋯ for more actions.

The Hazard Log tab with the View menu open, where you show, hide and reorder columns.

1 Expand opens every hazard inline. 2 A hazard's ID opens just that row: HAZ-029 expanded, showing its cause and controls.

Activity in a row’s ⋯ menu shows the hazard’s change history. Read Archive instead of deleting before you use Delete.
