The challenge
Managing risk assessments in manufacturing isn’t just a compliance exercise, it’s genuinely difficult. Here are the problems we hear most from teams who come to us.
Most manufacturing teams carry dozens of risk assessments, manual handling, working at height, machinery operation, noise, vibration, COSHH. When these live as Word files across a shared drive, version control collapses.
✓ One live register, always the right versionUnder the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, risk assessments must be reviewed at regular intervals. In practice, review dates slip quietly, a calendar reminder in someone's Outlook doesn't escalate; it just disappears.
✓ Automatic reminders before any review date lapsesMulti-site manufacturers face a compounded version of the problem. Each site carries its own assessments, managed locally, with no group-level visibility of what's overdue or where risk is concentrated.
✓ Group dashboard across all sites and locationsManufacturing risk assessments need to be consistent, easy to review, and simple to prove when someone asks for evidence. Evalu-8 helps teams move away from static documents and manage assessments in a more controlled way, with clearer scoring, scheduled reviews, and a full record of who approved what and when.
Risk assessment reviews should not be left to memory, spreadsheets, or a single calendar reminder. Evalu-8 helps manufacturing teams keep assessments current with configurable review cycles by risk level, escalating reminders when action is overdue, and ad-hoc review triggers when something on site changes.

From risk assessments and COSHH to incidents, RAMS and safety notes, Evalu-8 EHS helps manufacturing teams keep key safety processes in one place with clearer ownership, better visibility and a stronger audit trail.
“Before Evalu-8, our risk assessments and supporting documents were spread across shared drives and managed differently from site to site. Now everything sits in one system, review dates are easier to track, and when someone asks for evidence we can pull up the right record straight away instead of chasing files.”
