The solution

A complete digitised consulting package

We have digitised the entire occupational hygiene consulting process. When you purchase a module, you receive three powerful assets.

1. The pre-written assessment (Word document). We have done the heavy lifting for you. You immediately download a comprehensive Word document containing your complete Inherent Risk Assessment – from 6 pages for the smaller sections to 12 for Cutting and Forming. The moment you download this file, you instantly eliminate 95% of the hazard identification workload for your facility. This professional Hazard Register details every specific tank manufacturing activity step by step, exactly what could go wrong (mechanisms of injury and exposure), the possible consequences (from amputations to chronic health disease) and the Inherent Risk Rating (probability and severity) calculated before controls are applied.

2. The interactive compliance engine. You also receive secure, single-user login access to our proprietary web calculator. It comes pre-loaded with industry-specific controls. Answer Yes / No / N/A, and the engine instantly calculates your control score, applies severity reductions, and generates your RED / YELLOW / GREEN residual risk ratings and a prioritised Action Plan.

3. Built-in, on-the-job training. Traditional consultant reports sit unread in a filing cabinet. Our interactive engine forces active engagement on the workshop floor. As your supervisors and safety coordinators walk the site to evaluate controls, they are actively guided by CIH-authored methodology. The system literally trains your team on advanced hazard identification and mitigation while they secure your compliance.

How it works in 3 simple steps. One – download the Inherent Risk Assessment: the Word document containing the complete hazard register, pre-written by a CIH, which fast-tracks your statutory duty with a complete, industry-specific hazard baseline. Two – score your controls online: log in on your phone, tablet or computer, walk your workshop and evaluate the controls; the engine does the maths and builds your Action Plan automatically. Three – sign and comply: the calculator generates a finalised, fully formatted .docx legal record with your Action Plan inside it. Print it and sign it off.

The problem with “blank templates”
  • ✗You are left to identify every hazard yourself
  • ✗You debate the inherent risks with no baseline
  • ✗You calculate the hierarchy of controls by hand
  • ✗You spend hours formatting a Word document

Generic safety templates leave you with 90% of the work and 100% of the liability. If you miss a chronic health exposure, your business remains exposed to SafeWork NSW action.

The risk

CIH & MAIOH authored: high-liability protection

Standard safety checklists miss the chronic health exposures that trigger major regulatory fines. These modules are engineered by a Full Member of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (MAIOH), with precise control scoring for complex workshop liabilities, including hexavalent chromium and welding fume (welding and fabrication), isocyanate sensitisers and LEL environments (surface preparation and coating), diesel engine exhaust and container fumigants (receiving and storage), and high-fatality lock-out and stored energy (maintenance). Hiring a CIH consultant to physically map these hazards across a functional workshop takes over a week and costs upwards of $16,000. This system delivers the exact same methodology and mathematical rigor instantly.

Welding fume and hexavalent chromiumHigh

Lung cancer, occupational asthma and metal fume fever from uncontrolled fume, especially on stainless steel.

Isocyanates and flammable solvents in coatingHigh

Irreversible respiratory sensitisation; fire and explosion from solvent vapour.

Mobile plant and pedestriansHigh

Workers and truck drivers struck by forklifts and reversing vehicles in receiving and dispatch.

Guillotines, press brakes and rollsHigh

Amputation and crush injuries at unguarded or poorly isolated machinery.

Crane lifting and falling loadsHigh

Fatal crush injuries from dropped coils, sheet packs and tank rings.

Maintenance without isolationHigh

Entanglement, electric shock and stored-energy release during servicing of plant.

Abrasive blasting dustHigh

Respirable dust and heavy metal exposure from blasting and surface preparation.

Working at heightsHigh

Falls from truck decks, trial-assembled tank rings and maintenance access.

Noise and hand-arm vibrationMed

Permanent hearing loss and vibration injury from cutting, grinding and forming.

Diesel exhaust and container fumigantsMed

Carcinogen exposure in receiving bays and acute poisoning when unpacking imported containers.

Manual handlingMed

Back and shoulder injuries from sheets, strakes, liner rolls and fittings.

A worked example

How one hazard is rated

Hazard A1.1 – Mobile plant – trucks and forklifts in receiving bay – starts with an inherent risk of 4C (red). On the walkthrough, a workshop finds only two controls in place: physical barriers between pedestrian walkways and the unloading bay, and a designated unloading bay. The other ten – reversing alarms, zone lights, reversing cameras, licensed operators, a trained spotter, a traffic management plan and more – are missing. The control score is 18.8%. Too few effective controls are in place to lower the likelihood, so it stays at C; but the barriers physically limit how serious an injury could be, so severity drops from 4 to 3. The residual risk is 3C (yellow), and the ten missing controls go into the Action Plan in priority order, each needing a responsible person and a due date.

What's built in

How your controls are scored

Not generic advice — the specific, hierarchy-of-controls measures written into the pack, matched to how these assets actually fail.

01Every control is classified on the hierarchy of control – elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, PPE, monitoring and emergency – and physical controls earn more credit than rules and PPE.
02Controls that limit how severe an injury could be are marked, and only those can lower the severity rating of a hazard.
03Controls answered N/A are left out of the score, so the result reflects the protection that applies at your site.
04Natural ventilation earns no credit for diesel exhaust, container gases or other carcinogens – acceptability rests on source control and measurement.
05Every control answered No becomes an action, ranked red before yellow before green and most effective first, with a responsible person and a due date.
06Emergency and monitoring controls still appear in the Action Plan when missing, even though they do not change the score.

This is a generic risk assessment for a typical bolted steel tank workshop, to support your due diligence – completing it is not compliance in itself. You must answer it for your own site, consult your workers, put the missing controls in place, and get competent advice where it says so – for example exposure monitoring by an occupational hygienist. The limits of the assessment are set out in “How it works” and at the front of every report.
