Add Equipment sections to a risk assessment

Add an Equipment section to a risk assessment to link live equipment risk profiles from the site register. Each linked row shows the profile's current name, categories, and emission values, and the section can surface a combined totals panel and a live exposure calculator when available.

Before you start

You need at least the Member role for the Risks module to add, edit, or delete sections on a draft assessment. Published and historical versions are read-only. For role details, see Risks roles and access.

Section body

An Equipment section contains three areas:

  • Linked profile rows — each row shows the profile's current name, categories, and emission values. Click a row to open the profile in the register.

  • Combined totals panel — appears when exposure measurements have been stored for the linked tools, showing the combined total per metric across all tools in the section.

  • Exposure calculator panel — appears when available, providing a live read-only estimate of exposure from the linked profiles' register values. The calculator is not stored; it is a reference for the assessor.

Add an Equipment section

  1. Open the draft assessment.

  2. Click Add Section.

  3. Under the Linked records group, choose Equipment. On a blank assessment, you can also click the Add Equipment chip in the start hub.

  4. Enter a Title and optional Description, then click Save.

  1. In the Equipment section, click the link action to open the equipment register picker.

  2. Select the profiles you want to link. You can use the search box or browse the list.

  3. Confirm to add the selected profiles. Each linked row appears in the section with the profile's current name, categories, and emission values.

Each profile can only be linked once per section. If you need to reference the same profile again, add a second Equipment section.

Remove a linked profile

  1. In the Equipment section, find the row you want to remove.

  2. Click the remove action on the row.

  3. Confirm the removal.

Removing a link does not delete the profile from the register. It only removes the reference from this assessment.

Edit, reorder, or delete the section

In the section header, use the controls to edit the title and description, move the section up or down, or delete it. Reordering changes the display order on the assessment page and in print and PDF output. Deleting an Equipment section removes all linked rows and any stored measurements from the assessment.

Multiple Equipment sections

You can add more than one Equipment section to the same assessment. Each section has its own title, linked profiles, and measurement data. Because each profile can only be linked once per section, using multiple sections lets you group equipment by task, location, or exposure type while linking the same profile again in a different section.

How live register data works

Linked rows resolve live data from the equipment register. If a profile's name, categories, or emission values are updated in the register, those changes appear automatically in the assessment. The row is not a frozen snapshot.

Deleted profiles and unavailable rows

If an equipment profile is deleted from the register, the linked row shows Equipment profile no longer available and is no longer navigable. The row stays in the section so you can see what was previously linked, but it does not update.

How Equipment sections appear in print and export

  • Full PDF and print — Equipment sections print in section order with each linked profile's name, categories, and emission values when present. Unavailable rows show Equipment profile no longer available.

  • Excel Workbook — Equipment section data appears on the overview sheet.
