Document background
The Preliminary Risk Assessment Audit is a fundamental document required under Malaysian safety regulations, particularly aligned with the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 and DOSH guidelines. It serves as an initial comprehensive evaluation of potential risks and hazards within an organization's operations, processes, and facilities. This document is typically prepared when organizations need to establish a baseline for their risk management framework, during significant operational changes, or as part of regular safety compliance reviews. The audit encompasses various risk categories including occupational safety, health hazards, environmental impacts, and operational risks, providing a structured framework for risk identification, assessment, and control measure recommendations. In the Malaysian context, this document is particularly important as it helps organizations demonstrate compliance with local regulatory requirements while establishing a foundation for more detailed risk management programs.
