We’re excited to let you know that the NCASS Food Safety Risk Assessment Tool has had a major upgrade – making it quicker, smarter, and easier for you to create, manage, and update your food safety risk assessments.
The new tool is now live in your membership dashboard and available to use for every NCASS member.

Important:
If you already have a risk assessment saved in your dashboard, it won’t be automatically moved into the new tool. Your existing version will remain available to view and download.
However, if you choose to update it or renew your membership, you’ll need to start fresh in the new system.
What’s Changed and Why
We’ve redesigned the NCASS Food Safety Risk Assessment Tool based on feedback from members and Environmental Health Officers to make it faster, smarter, and easier to use – while helping you stay fully compliant.
- Faster to Complete – Clearer, less repetitive steps save you time
- Works on All Devices – Use it on mobile, tablet, or desktop
- Smarter Editing – Update processes to reflect your real-life operations
- Cleaner Templates – Easier to read, less duplication
- Specialist Options – Add your own processes or handle high-risk areas like sous vide or vacuum packing
These updates reduce admin time, improve accuracy, and help make inspections simpler – giving you more confidence in your compliance.
