Risk Assessment

1. Risk Identification

Detail the risk. For multiple risks related to the same project, complete a separate form for each.

2. Key Impact Areas

Identify the key areas impacted by the risk.

3. Inherent Risk Assessment

Assuming no controls are in place, assess the risk in each impact area.

4. Causes and Preventive Controls

List the causes of the risk, the preventive controls in place, and their effectiveness.

5. Consequences and Mitigative Controls

List the consequences of the risk, the mitigative controls in place, and their effectiveness.

6. Residual Risk Assessment

Considering the effectiveness of the preventive and mitigative controls, reassess the risk in each impact area.

7. Risk Evaluation

Evaluation of control effectiveness and assessment of whether the residual risk rating aligns with the defined risk appetite to determine if additional treatment is necessary.

ALARP Assessment

Is the residual project risk As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)?

ALARP status is determined by risk appetite alignment. When all impact areas are aligned with their defined appetite levels, ALARP is "Yes".

Risk Appetite Levels: Avoid: Little or no appetite - Only Low residual risk is considered aligned. Cautious: Small appetite - Low and Medium residual risks are considered aligned. Accept: Medium appetite - Low, Medium, and High residual risks are considered aligned. Receptive: Large appetite - All levels Low, Medium, High and Critical residual risks are considered aligned.

Disclaimer: The assessment is based on the best available information at the time of preparation. However, inherent limitations and uncertainties may affect its completeness and accuracy. Outcomes should be interpreted accordingly.
