How to merge a risk assessment into a site

Customise Site › Merge Risk Assessment brings a new risk assessment into a site you already have — matching its locations and assets to yours rather than starting again. Use Retrieve RA when the site does not exist yet.

Before you start

Your Risk Assessment login must be linked — see How to link your Risk Assessment login.

The wizard

  1. Find Assessment — search by client name, site name or date and select the assessment.

    The Merge Risk Assessment wizard on the Locations step
    Matching locations.
  2. System IDs — check the assessment’s systems against the site’s.

  3. Locations — for each location on the assessment, link it to a BRS location or add it as new. Suggested matches are shown; you can link every 100% match in one go or Add all unmatched as new.

  4. Retire Locations — tick BRS locations the assessment no longer mentions and Retire selected, or leave them.

  5. Assets and Retire Assets — the same for assets. New assets get the site’s rotation and infrequent-use rules; linked assets keep their settings and history.

  6. Remedial Actions — Import Remedial Actions from the assessment, and optionally Supersede Previous Remedials from older assessments.

  7. Finish — the Merge summary counts locations and assets linked and added.

Skip to Remedials goes straight to the remedial actions; Start Over discards your choices for this assessment.

Take care when matching

Linking an assessment item to the wrong BRS location or asset puts its history in the wrong place. If unsure, add it as new and tidy up afterwards. Then re-plan the site.
