Booking Service Provider Safety Risk Register

 

1.         Identifying, assessing and reducing risks

 

This document records the results of risk assessments carried out in connection with d@rt Pty Ltd’s Booking Service Provider operations.

Events that can impact on safety are called risks.

Identifying risks is the foundation of risk assessment. If risk events are not identified, any associated risks cannot be assessed and eliminated or reduced.

The risk register describes each identified risk and outlines the treatment action to be taken to eliminate or mitigate the risk so far as is reasonably practicable.

The General Manager of the business is responsible for the overall management of risks to safety associated with operating the business. This person is also responsible for ensuring that the procedures defined in this document are adhered to.

 

  1. Assessing the risk

 

In assessing the risks arising from an event, the aim is to determine what the possible consequences and likelihood of occurrence are.

The assessment will include normal operations as well as possible unplanned or abnormal situations.

It will also consider the risk from combinations of events or incidents.

 

  1. Treatment Measures

 

The degree of risk associated with any particular event will depend on the nature and effectiveness of the risk treatment measures that are in place.

The purpose of these measures is to eliminate, prevent or reduce the risks of, and to mitigate the effects of, incidents so far as is reasonably practicable. They can be of a procedural or process nature as well as hardware based.

All existing treatment measures for identified risks will be included.

If the risk assessment determines that existing measures are not adequate, additional treatment measures will be considered so that the risk is reduced.

 

  1. Risk Treatments Rejected After Consideration of the SFAIRP Principle

 

If a control has been rejected due to grossly disproportionate cost, this is documented.

 

  1. Review and Maintenance of the Risk Register

 

The Risk Register is a “live document” and will be updated whenever a new risk becomes known or an incident has occurred within the industry which could have the potential to impact on this operation.

The Risk Register will also be reviewed and if necessary revised annually as part of our Internal Safety Audit, and adjustments made with due reference to incident trends, safety alerts or other potentially impacting factors.
