Risk Manager

Risk Manager is the vessel's safety management area for assessing hazardous activities on board and issuing formal permits to work before hazardous jobs begin. It holds two registers in the vessel sidebar:

• Risk Assessments (Risk Manager → Risk Assessments) — the yacht's register of task- and activity-specific risk assessments, rated on the COSWP risk matrix, signed on board, reviewed periodically by the vessel and monitored by the company.
• Permits to Work (Risk Manager → Permits to Work) — written, time-limited authorisations for hazardous work on board, each tied to a signed risk assessment that is in force and stepped through from draft to closure with password-confirmed signatures.

Company-wide standard wording and templates for both registers live in the company sidebar under Database:

• Risk Lists (Database → Risk Lists) — the company's reusable lists of Activities, Hazards and Control measures that crew can pick from when writing a risk assessment.
• Permit to Work Types (Database → Permit to Work Types) — the General checklist that appears on every permit and the specific Work types (such as hot work or enclosed space entry) with their checklists, validity caps and allowed authorising ranks.

Cloud-only feature

Risk Manager, Permits to Work, Risk Lists and Permit to Work Types are available in the Nauticare Cloud web application only. They are not included in the on-board local app.

What is in this section

• Writing and Signing a Risk Assessment — creating or duplicating a risk assessment, picking from Risk Lists or entering custom text, rating initial and residual risk on the COSWP matrix, signing a revision into force and exporting it to PDF.
• Risk Assessment Reviews, Revisions and Company Oversight — register statuses and glance cards, the vessel's periodic Review, preparing a new revision, archiving, and the company's Confirm review, Send back and Withdraw actions.
• Preparing a Permit to Work — creating a permit draft, choosing work types (or None — general checklist only), linking a risk assessment in force and an optional machinery component, assigning the Permit holder, Authorising officer and Work party, and answering checklists.
• Authorising and Running a Permit to Work — requesting authorisation, authorising, accepting, confirming work-party briefings, extending, handing back, closing or withdrawing a permit, what happens on expiry or when a risk assessment goes out of force, and downloading the PDF.
• Risk Lists and Permit to Work Types — building and maintaining the company's standard activities, hazards, control measures, general checklist and work types in Database.
• Permissions and ISM Module Access — how the ISM module, vessel View and Edit permissions, and company vs on-board roles govern access to each register.
