This project can be completed within your current workplace, simulated, or from past experience.

To demonstrate competence in this unit you must design and develop a risk management plan related to:

• the reduction of accidents, illness or incidents relating to worker or general public safety
• the prevention of operational discontinuity and/or reduction of associated costs
• the need for new or innovative improvement/ changes in processes or procedures and the associated risks
• environmental impact issuesincluding resource use and management

When developing the plan, address these questions:

What are the risks?

1. How were the risks identified and assessedwhat tools were used and why?
2. What controls currently exist?
3. What is the desired situation?
4. What are the risks associated with the desired situation?
5. How does the risk management plan act to reduce the impact or consequences of the risk/s?
6. Does it introduce any new risks?
7. How does the treatment plan fit with the recommendations of the International Standard?
8. Who will the plan benefit and how will it benefit the various stakeholders?
9. Why should the organisation support it? (consider qualitative and quantitative benefits, costs, PR, safety etc)
10. How will you determine performance expectations?
11. How will you monitor and review the operation of the plan?
12. How will you measure its success? (ie what measurement processes will you use and what will you measure its success against)
