Risk assessment with a matrix and residual risk
Probability times consequence in a 5×5 matrix, the way Norwegian companies actually work. You document the controls already in place, the residual risk after new measures, and who owns them. The measures are cases in the system – with deadlines, owners and history, not a column in a spreadsheet.
What is included
- A visual 5×5 matrix showing where the risks sit
- Residual risk documented separately from gross risk
- Consequence 5 is never classified as low risk
- Measures become cases with an owner and a deadline
- Suggested hazards for your industry, ready to adjust
- Annual review built into the annual plan
- Deviations can feed back into the risk picture
Why we built it this way
Pure multiplication makes “unlikely fatality” a low risk. That is professionally wrong, and it is how serious hazards get accepted on paper. We classify consequence 5 as at least high risk regardless of probability.
Questions we get asked
How long does it take to get started?
You can register your company and be running in under ten minutes. When you pick your industry, the system fills itself with deviation categories, checklists, an HMS handbook, an emergency plan, suggested risks, an annual plan and competence requirements. Then you invite your people, and they can report deviations the same day – with no training.
Do we need training or consultants?
No. That is the whole point. The system is built so a field worker understands it first time, and a quality manager finds everything without a manual. We do not sell implementation projects, and there is no setup fee. If you need help, we answer the same day in Norwegian.
What happens when there is no signal?
Everything you do is stored on the device and succeeds immediately. You can report deviations with photos, complete checklists, sign, read procedures and tick off tasks. When the connection returns, everything uploads automatically. If someone else changed the same case meanwhile, we merge field by field – and where there is a genuine conflict, you choose, instead of something silently disappearing.
Does it satisfy Norwegian internal control rules and ISO 9001?
The system is built around the requirements: documented routines with version control and read receipts, risk assessment with measures and ownership, deviation handling with root cause analysis, systematic follow-up through the annual plan, internal audits and the management review. No software can certify a company – an auditor does that – but everything an auditor asks for, you can pull up on one screen.
Where is our data stored?
In Norway, with backups inside the EEA. No data is processed outside the EEA – that commitment is written into the data processing agreement, signed together with the subscription. You can export all your data at any time, and you own it.
Can we use it on both desktop and mobile?
Yes, and it is the same system. Browser, iOS and Android share data, design and workflow. A case you open on your phone in the van looks identical when you continue at the office. The web version can also be installed as an app on mobile without going through an app store.
What if we already have a system?
Then you probably already have the documents and routines, which is the time-consuming part. You can upload those directly. Automatic import of deviation history from Excel is on the roadmap and not ready yet – if you need the history from day one, tell us and we will help you move it. Run both systems in parallel for a month if you like. We have no lock-in, so you risk nothing.
What does it cost after the trial?
Two prices, both a flat monthly amount for the whole company: NOK 499 if you only need deviations under control, and NOK 1,499 for the complete system with every module. The 60-day trial ends by itself – you are never charged without saying yes.
Can employees report anonymously?
Yes. If you choose anonymous reporting, your name is not stored anywhere – not on the device and not in the audit log. You will not receive updates on the case, because that could reveal who you are. This matters for near misses and work environment concerns actually surfacing.
What does it cost to involve everyone?
Nothing extra. The price is a flat monthly amount for the whole company, whether you are five or two hundred, and we do not charge per user. The reason is simple: a quality system only management can access does not work – and pricing that penalises you for letting the carpenter in makes sure he never gets in.
Try it on your own company
Ask for the trial, choose your industry, and see how the system looks with routines, checklists and an annual plan already in place. 60 days, no commitment, and no credit card.
