v5.2.0 - Matcher risk assessment template

This document has been created to assist Matcher users when performing their own risk assessments of the Matcher system and its components.

It contains an example of a risk assessment that reflects the methodology IMT Matcher use internally, as recommended by the UK Health & Safety Executive.

The document includes some hazards IMT Matcher has identified and control measures that IMT Matcher has designed. It should not be treated as exhaustive, some of the contents may not be relevant to how Matcher has been implemented in your specific case, and all of the contents should be reviewed in light of how you deploy, configure and use Matcher at your site. It also does not directly cover any potential hazards of a customer’s processes, e.g. patient identification, for which use of Matcher may be one of the control measures.
