Hi all, I’m working on a pet project and developing a database for the recording of the RA’s, first off just concentrating on the RA’s then will add COSHH, MHO, Etc. I will include a register for the RA’s and as I work on a multi-activity site make it usable for other departments. This is only for my company, using their formats and matrices and not for commercial sale. Now I know what I want for this but just wondered what features that others would think useful.

Ok weekend so probably a bit slow. Things I thought of, is having a list boxes for the matrix, the total is calculated and a high, medium and low value is assigned on screen (RAG system). Having a query that can list the high and medium risks per department so managers can identify the areas of concern. Automatically identifying when review is due and on which department. Any other ideas would be welcome.

Possibly a reference to legislation (listed elsewhere) , so if any piece of legislation / guidance changes you know which RA’s etc. it affects. Depending on your intended software this could be made searchable. You could also link it to training lists, so you know who has been made aware of which RA’s and at which level (and exactly when each person was told what, just in case of any claims). You could also link it to a PPE list, again allowing easy reference when things change. This all depends on how much work you actually want to do and what else already exists, but this should keep you busy for a while.

Chris42 RA’s linked into the training – amazing that you should put that as it is one of the reasons I am looking at doing this database. Our continuation training programme and the evidence of the training needs to be linked to the relevant RA. So I though it would be easier to link if contained within a database so why not encompass the whole thing. The legal part I hadn’t considered but would be good idea many thanks.
