Risk assessment using OiRA at Lithuanian workplaces – a qualitative study

This report presents findings on the use and effectiveness of Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) in workplaces in Lithuania.

OiRA is assessed by Lithuanian users as very useful for supporting them in the risk assessment process. The application was valued for being free of charge as well as supporting the transition from external to internal risk assessments.

The report shows diverse ways of using OiRA, as a stand-alone tool or as a complementary information provision tool to support companies with knowledge. In both cases companies are motivated to use OiRA tools. Areas for improvement to realise more widespread use of OiRA in Lithuania include technical issues, the need for increased support and training, and more sector-specific and topic-specific coverage.
