The purpose of the Risk Assessment (RA) is to identify the remediation (safeguarding) required to reduce the risk within tolerable levels and comply with all applicable safety regulations. In a RA, a multi-disciplined team identifies tasks and risks of the machine. The risk is scored (with and without safeguarding) and a safeguarding plan is developed. This RA document is then accepted by the team and forms the basis of the remediation (safeguarding) plan.

- MSS inspection and preparation for Risk Assessment workshop:
- Prepare a comprehensive Risk Assessment spreadsheet per ANSI B11.0 / RIA 15.06 / TR15.306-2016.
- Work with the RA team to capture and prepare photos and videos of the machine in operation, including point of operation hazards and safeguarding concerns.
