Safety Alert - Possible data corruption/data loss using riskNET

5 June 2020

It is important that you do not have multiple instances of riskNET running simultaneously as this can cause loss and corruption of data. 

This can happen when you open a new window from within the browser or open another browser.  Despite having more than one instance of riskNET open, you are actually using the same session data and copying and pasting data between multiple instances can lead to loss of data. 

If you want to use the generic Covid-19 risk assessment as a basis for your own risk assessment, you should open RA035341 “General risk assessment to support a return to on site working at UCL” and make a copy by clicking on the Menu Options button and then selecting “copy”.

Action to be taken

Using the 'copy' function in risk assessment creates an editable version of the risk assessment avoiding any loss or corruption of data.
