Document background
The Occupational Health And Safety Risk Assessment is a crucial document required under Pakistani workplace safety regulations, primarily governed by the Factories Act 1934 and various provincial labor laws. This assessment is mandatory for organizations operating in Pakistan, particularly those in high-risk industries or those employing more than a specified number of workers. The document must be regularly updated and maintained as part of an organization's safety management system, typically reviewed annually or when significant workplace changes occur. It encompasses comprehensive hazard identification, risk evaluation, control measure assessment, and action planning, while ensuring compliance with both federal and provincial safety requirements. The assessment serves as a foundational document for workplace safety planning and is often required for insurance purposes, government inspections, and safety certifications.
