SILOED SAFETY NEEDS

Educational institutions can be fragmented and complex, making it difficult to achieve uniformity in health and safety. While safety needs may vary, they don’t need to be managed separately in different systems or folders.

RiskPal offers a flexible and customisable platform to address multiple safety requirements in one place.

Using a cloud-based system means you spend your time thinking about your specific project rather than constantly updating old forms. The system offers up practical advice on how to mitigate risks, while also giving you the option to add your own protocols for more specific tasks.
