Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify threats and risks
   • Identify threats and risks for mitigation purposes.
   • Consult with stakeholders during the identification process to build engagement.
2. Analyse and evaluate risk and determine vulnerability
   • Determine the nature of threats and risks to support selection of mitigation measures.
   • Record levels of threat and risk for monitoring and accountability purposes.
   • Determine threat and risk evaluation criteria based on legal, technical, financial, political, social considerations and best practice principles.
   • Compare threats and risks against evaluation criteria to determine degree of vulnerability.
3. Assess risk management strategies
   • Review existing risk management strategies to understand sufficiency and validity of current practices.
   • Identify strategies through researching current good practice, alternative options and expert opinion.
   • Evaluate strategies to identify their limitations and impact on stakeholders.
   • Communicate limitations and impact of strategies to stakeholders.
4. Design and document risk management strategies
   • Develop risk management strategies from prior research to support risk management planning.
   • Provide risk management strategies in a documented format to ensure accountability.
   • Submit risk management strategies through approval processes.
5. Implement and monitor risk prevention strategies
   • Apply risk prevention strategies to protect safety and well-being of stakeholders.
   • Track risk prevention strategies continually to ensure effective and sustainable implementation.
   • Communicate risk prevention strategies and activities to stakeholders.
   • Provide progress reports to achieve and maintain stakeholder engagement and support.
