ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors discuss how risk prioritisation delivers informed decision-making and may be used to argue what can be done to control and manage risk. In an organisation of significant size and complexity, whilst the concept of prioritisation through risk value holds true, having a single risk register is something that doesn’t truly work. The risk register can be used to inform local managers of the task-based risks they are responsible for managing. The risk register will inform them as to where they should focus their monitoring. The position of the task on the risk register will also help decide how frequently the task-based risk assessment must be reviewed. Having task-related risk assessments, risk registers and risk management plans should be on the agenda for health & safety committees and be used to drive discussions.
