Step 12 3$tlining 3e#ti"es Outlining objectives is a key step because it sets the foundation for all risk management exercises on a project.

+ualitative evaluation provides a detailed result and enables the relative positioning of risk issues. This is material to projects of any si&e. +uantitative appraisal gives a scientific depiction of risk and produces a numerical consequence $risk estimate%. +uantitative appraisal is embraced to address particular issues that merit a thorough investigation. Step 5 – Planning Once risks have been identified, it is critical to develop appropriate mitigation strategies. Risks should be assigned to team members best positioned to manage the issue. )ach person must then prepare an action plan ith commitments and milestone dates.
Step 6 – Management Risk mitigation plans must be continually audited throughout the life of the project. This audit includes ongoing analysis of the current risk profile as ell as identification of a best plan !. Step 7 – 8ee%a#k -onstructive feedback is an important vehicle for learning from successes and defeats. Throughout the project, this feedback helps ith constant re(assessment of the circumstances concerning risk and enables the team to react to guarantee an effective result.

Ranking or prioriti&ing ha&ards is one ay to help determine hich ha&ard is the most serious and thus hich ha&ard to control first. #riority is usually establis hed by taking into account the employee exposure and the potential for accident, injury or illness. !y assigning a priority to the ha&ards, you are creating a ranking or an action list. The folloing factors play an important role*
#ercentage of orkforce exposed.
3requency of exposure.
