When is the Risk Analysis Renewed?

The workplace risk assessment must be renewed at specified intervals according to the hazard class within the framework of legal obligations. These intervals are:

• Very dangerous workplaces: Every 2 years
• Dangerous workplaces: Every 4 years
• Low dangerous workplaces: Every 6 years

However, in certain situations, the risk assessment must be renewed before these periods. Special situations include:

1. Relocation of the workplace or modifications to buildings,
2. Changes in technology, materials used, and equipment,
3. Changes in production methods,
4. Occurrence of work accidents, occupational diseases, or near misses,
5. Changes in regulations regarding threshold values for the working environment,
6. Based on measurement results of the working environment or health surveillance, if deemed necessary,
7. Emergence of a new hazard originating from outside the workplace.

Additionally, optional renewals can also be performed. In workplaces with high awareness of occupational health and safety, companies may prefer to conduct risk assessments frequently without any obligation. Especially in dynamic sectors like shipyards and construction, risk analyses can even be conducted on a monthly basis.
