Risk Assessment Report
“Any project has risks at the outset because of the many unknown factors, some of which you will remove during the planning stage. The risk could be due to internal or external factors. In practice risks disappear and new risks appear as the project progresses, so regularly review potential risks. Adopt the view that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong”” (Trevor L Young2003)
There are no new tasks associated with this action plan and all people involved are trained and experienced so there are no additional safety risks involved.
Risk of failure is always possible but all items of the plan have a proven track record. Tracking the run and feeding back each day directly to the managers meeting will allow further counter measures to be planned if needed.
Morale is very low across the factory due to Factory closure and to mitigate this the communications will be detailed and any technical resources involved will be spoke to on a one to one basis.
