Risk Register User Guide

On this page:

The Risk Registers module allows any number of Risk Registers to be created for a Project, Business or any other purpose.
Each Risk Register is comprised of individual risks that are each scored and categorised.

Manage Existing Risk Registers

When you open the Risk Registers module you will be viewing the list of existing Risk Registers, as shown below.

The Risk Register list allows to see an overview of all risk registers. You are able to filter by risk register owner, and by the archived status of the risk register using the provided filters.

The following actions are possible from this screen:

	View or make modifications to the Risk Register.
	Permanently delete the Risk Register.
	Make a duplicate of the register, including all attached risks
	Remove the Risk Register from the active risk register list (it can still be viewed using the Archived filter setting).
	Create a new Risk Register.

Create a New Risk Register

To Create a new Risk Register, click on the 'Add New' button from the Manage Existing Registers screen (shown above).

You will now be required to enter the name of the new risk register in the 'Name', as shown above. You can also optionally add a note to the register. The 'Owner' field will be automatically be stamped with
the details of the current CS Intranet user.

Once entered, click 'Save register' to create the new risk register.

Adding Risks to a Risk Register

Risks are added to a Risk Register by opening it for editing and licking on the '+' button, as shown below. This will open the edit risk screen.

You are now able to enter details of the risk.
The 'Category' field is a list of categories, as entered in Risk Category Administration section.

Both the 'Primary Activity' and 'Risk' fields are required.

To obtain an Initial Risk score, select the 'Likelihood', 'Consequence' and 'Exposure' from the drop downs. This will provide a numerical score, as shown above.
To obtain guidance on risk scoring, click on the 'See Risk Scoring' button.

Once the risk score is obtained, enter the required risk controls in the 'Risk Controls' text box.

If action is required in relation to 'Risk Controls', add them using the 'Add Action' button, as shown above.

Once these details are entered, you may save the risk.

Risk Category Administration

The Risk Categories determine what categories are provided for grouping the risks you wish to define. Each category includes Risk Score 'consequence' labels specific to the category, so that as risks are evaluated the terminology used to describe the consequence aligns to the category. This is illustrated in the image below.

To CREATE a new Category, enter the Name in the text box below ‘Add New Category’ and click ‘Save’. This new Category will now be added to the available list when new risks are entered.

To EDIT an existing Category, click the next to the Category you wish to edit. Update the name of the Category in the text box provided and click ‘Save’.

NOTE: The changed Category will appear in the list for new risks, but it will also update the Category of any existing risks under the changed Category.

To DELETE an existing Category, click the icon next to the Category.

NOTE: Registers using the deleted Category will not be modified. The deleted Category will still appear in the list of existing data, however it will not be possible to enter new incidents and improvements using the deleted category.
