IPER risk matrix and risk map
The IPER matrix is the heart of DS 44: the programme, training and protocols all derive from it. If it is generic or outdated, everything else falls.
What the law requires
- Matrix by process, task and job position, built according to the ISP Guide for hazard identification and risk assessment (version 3, 2024).
- Must include ergonomic, psychosocial, violence and harassment, physical, chemical and biological factors, and consider especially sensitive workers.
- Available at the workplace, communicated to workers and reviewed at least yearly or after changes and accidents.
- Risk map: a graphic representation of the workplace with the official symbols, per the Ministry of Labour guide.
What we deliver
- On-site survey of processes and tasks with your team.
- Complete IPER matrix with qualitative and quantitative assessment, hierarchy of controls and measures per position.
- Printed risk map to display in your facilities.

FAQ
Common questions about this service
Is a matrix downloaded from the internet enough?
As a reference yes, as a legal document no. Inspectors compare the matrix with what they see on site: if your positions, machines or substances are missing, it counts as non-compliance.
How often must it be updated?
At least once a year, and whenever processes change, new machines or substances arrive, an accident or dangerous incident occurs, or a serious and imminent risk is detected.
What is the gender perspective in the matrix?
DS 44 requires recognising that men and women may be exposed differently to the same risks and that measures must be effective for both. It shows in how tasks, PPE and psychosocial risks are assessed.
