Preparing and implementing the risk treatment plan

The final part of the risk treatment process involves preparing and implementing the risk treatment options selected. The risk treatment plan should document how the options are going to be implemented. By now you should have commenced the identification and evaluation of your own risk treatment options relating to your specific risk assessment project. From this risk assessment and your recent risk treatment activities, you should be able to start identifying some recommendations that arise out of your risk assessment to effectively treat the risks assessed. It is important at this time that you understand the difference between a set of conclusions (discussed earlier) and a set of recommendations.


The difference between planning objectives and conclusions

 
  • Conclusions are a logical extension of previous work, thus they are focused on work performed and something that already exists.
  • Recommendations should be forward-looking, in that they suggest what future work needs to be done. Conclusions are justifiable, recommendations, although logically connected to the conclusions, may not, during the planning process, be found to be viable.

 

Students should note they will be expected to develop an emergency plan in Subject EMG103 (Emergency Management Planning 3). This emergency management plan should be based on the results of your risk assessment, thus on the recommendations you develop here. But DO NOT, REPEAT , DO NOT start to write a plan yet, that will be your task in EMG103.

Given this essential difference, what then is the connection between the conclusions and planning objectives of your hazard report?

Your conclusions will state what the risk problems are (or are not) like in the community, industry or activity that you studied. Your recommendations will state or suggest what may need to be done, in a strategic or general, sense about the risk or community vulnerability, or the environment.

Your recommendations should contain the following information and form the basis of identifying how you will implement your risk treatment options:
