RISK BASED CONTROL PLAN

RISK LEVEL ACTION AND TIMESCALE

Quick, easy controls should be implemented immediately and further action planned for when resources permit. Monitoring required
1-4
ensuring controls are maintained. Manage through routine procedures. Go for economic improvements where possible. Incident
Low
report must be completed.

Aim to reduce risks but costs of prevention may be limited. Undertake a risk assessment of the situation / task and implement the
appropriate actions. Actions should have a timescale and should be monitored. Where the risk involves work in progress undertake
5-12 a risk assessment as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the situation or task. Work should not start until the risk is
Medium reduced to an acceptable level. Considerable resources may have to be allocated. Contact your Manager and Risk Manager by
telephone about the actions that should be taken to reduce the risk/s. incident report must be completed. Incident must be added
to service risk register.

Do not commence the activity until a risk assessment has been completed to ensure the safety of the situation or task. If it is
15-25 not possible to reduce or eliminate the risk even with unlimited resources, work must remain prohibited. Inform your relevant
High Director, your Manager and the Risk Manager immediately by telephone. Incident report must be completed. Incident must be
