You must identify potential risks to a specific project planed develop a risk plan to monitor and control risks effectively, identifying preventative and contingent actions to prevent the risk from occurring or reduce its impact, to increase the chances of achieving project success.
Types of risk will depend upon the project plan used.
Procedure
1. Examine the project plan.
2. Identify any risks that could occur during the project.
3. Use the risk assessment matrix supplied to assess the level of risk.
4. Develop preventative actions to prevent the risk from occurring, or contingent actions to reduce the risk of occurring.
5. List the contingent actions to reduce the impact, should the risk occur.
6. Schedule these actions within an acceptable timeframe.
7. Record all the information gathered on the forms and templates provided.
Specifications
The project deliverables must include:
a completed safety risk plan
a completed risk form for an identified risk
a record of the identified risks in risk log
Project outline
You have decided to organise a celebratory barbeque at a nearby municipal park that has both gas and wood-fired barbeques. There is usually a supply of dry wood there. There are several fixed tables with seats, in the open. There is a small covered gazebo in the park. You will need to set the date, decide on the number of guests, menu and catering arrangements (BYO). You have enlisted several of your friends to assist in the planning and organising of your barbeque.
