# Clinical Safety: Overview

> Build a hazard log for each product, publish approved versions on your Trust Centre, run one incident log for clinical and security incidents, and keep your CRMP and CSCR current.

<Note>
  **Quick summary**

  * Build a hazard log for each product and publish approved versions on your Trust Centre.
  * Approving a new version can move every published copy to it.
  * One incident log holds clinical and security incidents, including reports from outside your organisation.

## Related frameworks

Open **Clinical Safety → Overview** in the sidebar to see this area's frameworks, each with its [progress](/frameworks/tracking-and-mapping) and a **Tasks** link. Terms like initial risk, residual risk and ALARP are in the [glossary](/assuric-overview/glossary#clinical-safety).

| Framework | What it means for you |
| - | - |
| **Class I UK MD** | Low-risk software as a medical device (UK MDR, MHRA), which you do [for each product](/tasks/product-specific-tasks) |
| **DCB0129** | The NHS clinical safety standard for manufacturers, which you do for each product, with tasks beyond the Clinical Safety area |
| **DCB0160** | The NHS standard for organisations that deploy your product, which you cover in your hazard log rather than as a framework, recording their controls as [transferred controls](/clinical-safety/exporting-a-hazard-log#what-customers-download) with *Responsibility* set to *Deploying Org* |
| **ISO 14971** | Risk management for medical devices, with its own tasks, enabled separately from DCB0129 |
| **CQC** | Care Quality Commission regulations for online healthcare providers, which you do once for your organisation and will also find under **Clinical Governance** in the sidebar |

<Frame caption="DCB0129 in Frameworks, with its own percentage and task count. ISO 14971 sits directly below it: a related standard, locked (0 tasks) until it's enabled for this workspace.">
