What is a DVR and what is it for?
The Risk Assessment Document (DVR) describes workplace risks, prevention measures and improvement plans. It should reflect how the work is actually organised.
Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 and ISO 45001
Workplace Safety
We help create workplaces where prevention is not a bureaucratic burden, but a shared everyday practice.
Beyond regulatory compliance
Workplace safety is often treated as paperwork. Our approach streamlines administration so businesses can focus on what matters: behaviours, processes and equipment.
We work on site, supporting supervisors and managers in day-to-day safety and compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 and subsequent amendments.
What we do
- Appointment as external RSPP (Head of the Prevention and Protection Service).
- Preparation and updating of the Risk Assessment Document (DVR) and DUVRI.
- Assessment of specific risks, including chemical exposure, noise, vibration, manual handling and work-related stress.
- Implementation of ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety management systems.
- Support during inspections by the competent supervisory authorities.
- Preparation of emergency and evacuation plans.
ISO 45001 management systems
Adopting the standard ISO 45001:2018 helps systematise procedures, may support eligibility for INAIL premium reductions (OT23) and can strengthen a company’s reputation with stakeholders and clients.
The Lean Safety method:
- Lean procedures, only where needed
- Direct involvement of workers
- Digital forms and records
- Integration with quality and environmental management
Workplace safety FAQs
When should a DVR be updated?
It should be reviewed when processes, workplaces, equipment or organisation change, or when new risks emerge. The specific circumstances determine what updates are needed.
What does an RSPP do?
The prevention and protection service manager supports the organisation in identifying risks and proposing preventive measures. The appointment does not transfer the employer’s own duties.
Can a company appoint an external RSPP?
Often yes, but the rules and limits depend on the sector, organisation and applicable requirements. Eligibility should be checked for each company.
What is a DUVRI?
It assesses interference risks in certain contracted work. It helps the client and contractors coordinate safety measures and does not replace each organisation’s DVR.
What is ISO 45001 used for?
ISO 45001 provides a framework for organising and improving occupational health and safety management. It does not replace legal duties or by itself guarantee that incidents will not occur.
Which risks need to be assessed?
The assessment should cover risks relevant to the work, including chemical, physical, ergonomic and organisational risks. The scope depends on roles, workplaces and company processes.
Does consulting transfer the employer’s responsibilities?
No. A consultant provides technical and organisational support; duties assigned to the employer remain governed by the applicable law.
How can a company prepare for a safety inspection?
Keep documents and records current, clarify roles and deadlines, and check that planned measures are being applied. Support cannot guarantee the outcome of an inspection.
How does a workplace safety review begin?
It usually starts by gathering information about activities, roles, processes and documents, followed by discussions with the organisation. Priorities and possible actions are then identified.
