What is in the template
-
A structured scope definition — objective, hazards, scenarios, people, locations, equipment, activities, timeframes, and external considerations captured in one place before scoring begins.
-
A workshop-ready risk register using the "There is a chance that… because of…" cause-and-consequence structure, with initial and residual risk scoring.
-
A calibrated 5×5 matrix with consequence descriptors across safety, environment, community, financial, health, legal, and reputation, plus defined likelihood bands.
-
A control versus critical control guide — a decision logic for identifying critical controls, aligned to the ICMM Critical Control Management good practice guidance.
-
A treatment plan section for tracking risk treatment actions to closure, with reference fields for legislation, standards, and lessons learned.
When the spreadsheet stops keeping up
A template is the right place to start. It stops keeping up when controls need to be verified in the field, when a register must stay connected to a bowtie, and when critical controls need a health status rather than a static score. That is the point RiskSight is built for. See why spreadsheet risk registers fail for the detail.
