Description
Project 1
- This project will enable you
to produce end products suitable for use in the workplace. Design, develop and document a risk management plan related to: - -the reduction of accidents,
illness or incidents relating to the worker or general public safety
- -the prevention of
operational discontinuity
- -the need for new or
innovative improvement/ changes in processes or procedures (and the associated risks)
- -environmental impact issues—
including resource use and management
- You might choose another risk
area relevant to the organization for which you work. If you do you will need to describe the organization and the risk being addressed in terms of industry sector requirements. Give clear and succinct reasons for initiating and implementing the risk management plan. You will need to:
- 1. Establish the context of the
risk.
- 2. Identify the risk/s.
- 3. Analyze the risks.
- 4. Select and plan risk
management treatments.
- Describe the processes
followed to address all of the settings:
- -any current risk management
policies, procedures and processes, and their strengths and weaknesses
- -the risk management scope
- -the impact that each of the
following has on the organization’s approach to risk management: - -political
environment
- -economic climate
- -social factors
- -legal factors
- – technological
advancements
- -policy context
- -tools and techniques that
can be used to identify, measure (quantify) and analyze (assess) risks
- -critical success factors,
goals or objectives
- -relevant legislation,
regulations or codes of practice
- -internal and external
stakeholder groups and their issues
- -communication with each
stakeholder groups
- -the support that will be needed
in order for the risk management plan to be effective
- -procedures for prioritizing
risk treatments
- Address all of the following
questions:
- What is the situation?
- What are the risks associated
with the situation?
- How were the risks identified
and assessed?
- What controls currently exist?
- What is the desired situation?
- What are the risks associated
with the desired situation?
- How have they been identified
and assessed?
- How does the risk management
plan actions to reduce the impact or consequences of the risk/s?
- Does it introduce any new
risks?
- Who will the plan benefit and
how will it be of benefit?
- Why should the organization
support it? (consider qualitative and quantitative benefits, costs, PR, safety, etc)
- What resources and what
personnel would be involved in developing, implementing and monitoring the planned risk controls?
- What are the cost factors
involved?
- How would you ensure that the
risk treatment was sponsored and supported by the organization?
- Whose authorization would you
need in order to go ahead with your plan?
- How would you determine
performance expectations?
- How will you monitor the
operation of the plan?
- Who would be responsible for
monitoring the risk controls and why would this person ( people) be most suited to the task?
- How will you measure its
success? (ie what measurement processes will you use and what will you measure its success against?)
- Format your risk
identification, analysis and improvement plan/ proposal ( or action plan) in a manner that would be accepted by senior management. Ensure that all risk scenarios are addressed and catered for.
- Submit
- the plan
- answers to the questions
- the plan rationale
- tools used in the assessment
process and in the plan design process
- any relevant support
information, charts, graphs, etc
- The plan must clearly
describe the risk, proposed actions, resource needs, responsible persons, time frames, deadlines, expected outcomes and suc
