How do I delete or remove a risk from my risk register?

Removing risks

Here's a quick guide on how to remove a risk from your risk register. Once this is done, visitors won’t see this risk when they check-in to your property. This is useful for risks that might have been added in duplication, are no longer relevant, or have been resolved.

Eliminating a risk

  1. Log in to your Onside Web Portal through the Onside website
    1. Go to your Risk dashboard, found in the 'Health & Safety' option in the menu.
    2. Find the risk you are wanting to eliminate
    3. To the right of the row you can change the status to 'Eliminated'
      Alternatively, you can also click on the risk, go to the 'Manage' tab and change the status from there.

    When you generate a risk report, you will still be able to see the risks that you have eliminated. 

    Delete a risk

    While we recommend only eliminating risks, if you've accidentally added a risk or made a duplicate, you can delete the risk to remove all record of it. 

    1. Following the steps above, to the right of the status dropdown in the risk dashboard, click theimage-png-Jan-23-2023-11-29-29-7532-PM 2button

    Risks you've dismissed can be accessed from this page too, simply click 'View dismissed'.

    When risks are dismissed, you'll also be able to see why and by whom in the archive too. The person who reported the risk will also be notified via email it has been dismissed and why.
