A checklist for threats (risks) according to the RISMAN method
RISMAN is the most widely used risk management method in the construction and infrastructure sector. With the RISMAN method, you identify (project) risks from 7 different angles:
- political/administrative
- financial/economic
- legal/legal
- Technical
- Organizational
- Geographical/spatial
- socially.
You then determine control measures for each risk: avoid, reduce (mitigate), transfer or reduce. During the project, you always check whether you are sufficiently managing the risks. In doing so, you follow a cyclical process.
Management system
In our management system platform , we manage these risks, just like for the MAPGOOD and RAVIB methods, and itcontains acomplete overviewof all risks. Try NOW, and be online in 60 seconds, for example for a Risk Carousel. Or first watch the demos including risk treatment plan below or the practical video.
For substantive questions, we consult our colleagues at meta-audit.nl or ask them yourself. (If you don't want to 'knock' anything, request their list in digital form here .)
The table below (RISMAN item / failure mode / threat) is a tool to map out the threats (risks) for your own organization from generic threats.
