In a car plant, safety risks come from machines, from the way products are designed and from everyday tasks on the floor. A global automotive manufacturer needed one consistent way to assess them all. MXTechies developed and extended a Mendix enterprise risk management application that started with equipment risks and now also covers product design and site-specific task risks, with multilingual and AI-assisted features planned next.
EHS risk assessment software helps teams identify hazards, score risks and plan fixes in a standard way. In this project, the solution standardises environmental, health and safety (EHS) risk assessments across manufacturing operations. In one Mendix app, teams identify hazards, evaluate risk levels and plan mitigation for equipment, for products during design (upstream risk assessment) and for specific tasks at each site. Every assessment is documented and traceable.

The challenge
Managing EHS risk across a large manufacturing footprint is complex:
- Many kinds of risk: hazards come from equipment, product design, work activities and locations.
- Different methods: assessments could vary from one area or site to another.
- Scattered records: hazards and mitigation actions weren’t always documented in one place.
- Limited visibility: leaders needed a clear, consistent view of risk across the business.
- Narrow starting scope: the existing tool focused on equipment, not the wider set of risks.
The solution
MXTechies developed and enhanced an enterprise risk management application on Mendix, expanding it well beyond its original equipment-focused scope. The app now supports three types of assessment in one consistent framework: equipment-related risk assessments, upstream risk assessments during product design, and site-specific task risk assessments.
Each follows the same steps for identifying hazards, evaluating risk and planning mitigation, so results can be compared and tracked across the business.
Key features
01Equipment risk assessment
- For EHS teams
- Machinery and equipment hazards are assessed in a standard way.
02Upstream design risk assessment
- For EHS teams
- Risks are caught while products are still being designed.
03Site-specific task risk assessment
- For EHS teams
- Work activities are assessed for each location.
04Hazard documentation
- For EHS teams
- Every identified hazard is recorded.
05Risk evaluation
- For EHS teams
- Risks are scored consistently.
06Mitigation planning
- For EHS teams
- Actions to reduce risk are planned and tracked.
07Multilingual assessmentsPlanned
- For EHS teams
- Teams will work in their own language.
08AI assistancePlanned
- For EHS teams
- AI will help teams assess risks faster.
How it works
- Choose the scopeThe user starts an equipment, design or site task assessment.
- Identify hazardsPotential hazards are listed and documented.
- Evaluate riskEach hazard is scored using the standard method.
- Plan mitigationActions are defined to reduce the risk.
- TrackMitigation progress and risk levels are visible across areas.

Outcomes
- One standard method: risk assessments follow the same process across business areas.
- Wider coverage: equipment, design and task risks are all in one app.
- Earlier prevention: design-stage assessments catch risks before production.
- Full traceability: hazards, scores and actions are documented.
- Ready for what’s next: multilingual and AI features are planned on the same platform.
Why build this on Mendix
- Extend, don’t replace: on Mendix the app grew from equipment risks to design and task risks.
- Ready for AI and languages: multilingual and AI features can be added on the same platform.
- One consistent process: every assessment type follows the same framework.
Who this is for
Automotive, industrial and process manufacturers with EHS teams that assess risks across many plants, products and tasks, and want one consistent, traceable approach.
Frequently asked questions
What is EHS risk assessment software?
It helps teams identify environmental, health and safety hazards, evaluate how serious they are and plan actions to reduce them.
What types of risk assessment does the app support?
Equipment-related, upstream product design and site-specific task risk assessments.
What is an upstream risk assessment?
It assesses risks while a product is still being designed, so hazards can be removed before production starts.
Does it support multiple languages?
Multilingual assessments are planned as part of the next phase.
Will it use AI?
AI-assisted functionality is planned to help teams assess risks more quickly.
