Risk Assessment: What Customers Should Prepare

Technician conducts risk assessment on robotic machinery in an industrial automation setting.

A risk assessment should not feel like a paperwork exercise. It should drive a design that people can operate safely and confidently.

Projects stall when teams show up without the inputs that make decisions possible.

Bring these to the first call:

• Robot/AMR type, speeds, and operating modes

• Cell layout and access points

• Current safeguarding and pain points

• Stop-time data (or a plan to measure it)

• Target behaviors: reduced speed vs stop, and where

• Who approves changes (EHS, engineering, operations)

What you should expect from a good process:

• Clear system boundaries (what SR-1 covers, what it doesn’t)

• Documented assumptions and validation steps

• Zone intent that maps to real work tasks

• A plan for future changeovers and revisions

When you do this well, you avoid redesign cycles and you reduce operational friction.
