GILS Risk Assessment Checklist

How it works

EU-OSHA's OiRA tools have shown that small enterprises assess risks when the tool is free, sector-specific and produces an action plan. This checklist follows that logic for Georgia. Choose the workplace type, answer each statement as it applies to your site or facility, and generate the action plan: items "Not in place" become high-priority measures, "Partly" medium. Each statement shows its basis — the Organic Law on Occupational Safety (2019), the Labour Code, an EU directive Georgia has transposed, or an international benchmark (an EU directive not yet transposed, an ILO convention, or WHO and ILO guidance). The completed checklist and plan can be printed and kept as part of the risk assessment record.

This tool supports, and does not replace, the written risk assessment the law requires and the work of the accredited occupational safety specialist. GILS does not collect any data from it.
