    CIRSMA™ automatically determines the risk based on the selections made by the user for each point of operation. No guesswork is required when determining if a machine is safe. The CIRSMA™ version control system tracks the progress of the changes that occur to safety related aspects of the machine. CIRSMA™'s reports include all information related to the equipment, the owner and task hazard assessments.
  2. Where is the data stored that I enter into CIRSMA™?

  4. What does the document management module do?

    Document management allows the user to link any external document (PDF, MS Word, MS Excel, DWG etc) to any record in the database. Example. The machine's schematic drawings can be linked to the equipment record.
  5. Can I export my reports?

    YES. All reports can be exported into PDF and TIFF files.
  6. Why is the data stored in a database?
