Potential Risk
One or more risk assessment workshop
shall be held, which consider all potential
project risks.
Note that Liquidated Damages is not a
Project Risk It is consequences of an
event, typically failure to meet project
milestones. Neither should this be
recorded as a risk, as it is too general,
and arises due to one or more reasons.
* Delay in selection of Vendor X;
* Failure of Vendor Y to meet
schedule;
* Failure of Subcontractor Y to
mobilize sufficient resources;
* Etc.
These are the potential risks which should
be considered.

The likelihood that

this potential risk will
be realized on this
project is classified as
:

The consequences

2. Unlikely

Mitigation Action
Low Risks are
acceptable. These should be
recorded to confirm that this risk
has been considered, but no
further action is required.
Medium Risks
are Tolerable. Mitigation action
shall be taken where practical to
reduce the probability or the
severity of the risk, and the risk
reassessed.
High Risks are
Unacceptable. Immediate
mitigation action shall be taken to
reduce the Probability or Severity
of the Risk and the risk
reassessed. Risk must be
reduced to Medium or Low

This is the
assessment of
the risk, following
