New Online Job-Related Risk Assessment Tool Launches

The Office of Research and the Office of Environmental Safety are launching a web-based tool for conducting risk-based assessments — the Online Risk Assessment Tool (ORAT). It replaces the existing Occupational Health Registry on Wednesday, Nov. 1.

Because it is important that you understand the potential risks associated with your research/job-related duties, the ORAT will walk you through the process for assessing potential risks due to contact with animals, hazardous agents, operations or environments.

If you have completed the Occupational Health Registry in the past, you will receive a notification near your next annual renewal date prompting you to complete the ORAT. If you have never completed an assessment but need to do so, please utilize the ORAT beginning Nov. 1.
