Why conduct a risk inventory and evaluation?
A safe and healthy work environment starts with insight. As an employer, you are required to identify the occupational risks within your organization and document them in a Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&E). This provides insight into the risks to which employees are exposed and their potential consequences.
With a RI&E from Normec, you not only comply with applicable laws and regulations, but you also lay a strong foundation for a safe, healthy, and future-proof organization.
Insight into risks within your organization
Every organization has different activities, processes, and working conditions. That’s why we tailor the RI&E to your organization and the risks associated with it.
During the assessment, we identify, among other things:
- The occupational risks present
- Which employees are exposed to risks
- How often and for how long exposure occurs
- Potential consequences for safety and health
- Measures to mitigate risks
This provides a comprehensive picture of the current situation and areas for improvement.
From assessment to a practical plan
An RI&E is more than just a required document. It provides concrete tools to systematically reduce risks and improve safety within your organization.
After the assessment, you’ll receive a clear report outlining our findings and a practical action plan. This will enable you to take targeted measures and set priorities.
With a risk inventory and evaluation:
- You’ll comply with legal requirements regarding workplace safety
- Gain insight into the most significant workplace risks
- You reduce the risk of accidents and health issues
- You’ll work toward lower absenteeism and higher productivity
- You’ll have a practical plan for managing risks

Normec’s specialists have extensive experience with workplace safety and risk management across a wide range of industries. As a result, we look beyond mere legal requirements. We assess how risks arise in practice and which measures actually contribute to a safer work environment.
Our recommendations are clear, practical, and immediately applicable within your organization.
