How the assessment engine works

Templates, conditional logic, Fine–Kinney scoring, autosave, and immutable submissions.

Every assessment in OHS — workstation, site, and the modules that follow — runs on one engine. Understanding it once explains all of them.

Templates

A template defines sections, questions, field types, and scoring rules. Your jurisdiction decides which stock templates the workspace starts with. Stock templates are starting points — your specialist reviews and adapts them; they're not legal advice and not "pre-approved".

Conditional logic

Questions and whole sections can depend on earlier answers — answer “remote work” and the office ergonomics section never appears. Shorter forms get finished; forms that ask everything of everyone don't.

Risk scoring

Hazards are scored with the Fine–Kinney method: you set consequence and likelihood, the score computes live, and lands in a band — acceptable, adequate, tolerable, or unacceptable. Bands make the result comparable across assessments and give the dashboard something honest to count.

Autosave and submission

Everything autosaves — an assessment in progress can be picked up days later. When it's complete, a named person submits it. Submitted assessments are immutable: corrections create a new revision instead of silently editing the old one, so what was signed on a date stays what was signed on that date.
