Occupational risks: turn observations into prevention

France and Switzerland require employer prevention to be matched to real work and exposure. Identify work units, hazards, measures, responsible owners and evidence of implementation. The French risk-document framework is not a universal Swiss DUERP. This register connects observations and action without performing a safety audit, certifying a workplace or replacing competent assessment of actual risks.
