WRA revision and 3-year cycle

Why a dedicated revision module?

A Danish WRA has to be revised at least every three years, and earlier if something material changes — new technology, an accident, a new product line, a reorganization. In practice, few people keep track of that date. It slides out of the calendar, and when an inspector or a new customer turns up, you discover the last version is four years old.

The email reminders handle single tasks: action-plan items, open instructions, fire drills. The revision cycle is something else — it is the whole WRA that has to be walked through. That is why it becomes its own module, so it does not drown in the regular reminders.

What it will look like

APV shows a clear countdown: your WRA expires in so-and-so many months. As the deadline approaches, you get a checklist — not a big process, but the points that empirically change the most: any new machines, new chemical products, new types of employee, new job types? Have there been accidents or near-misses that should enter the risk picture? Are the action-plan items from last time closed?

You answer yes/no for each point, and only get routed to edit the sections that actually changed. The rest is reused from last time. The end result is a new version of the WRA with visible tracking of what changed from the previous round. The old version is kept, so the history can always be documented.

When unscheduled changes happen

Beyond the 3-year cycle are the changes that trigger a revision outside the usual turn. A new hot-work job at your roofing company. A new painter with an allergy to a standard product. A shift from service to contract work for an electrical business. When you flag that kind of change in APV, you get a suggested list of sections to walk through, and the deadline updates, so you do not forget to close out the revision.

Are there things in your day-to-day that trigger a revision in your mind but never get written down? Get in touch.
