Purpose

To assist in making decisions, based on the outcomes of the risk analysis about which risks need treatment and the priority for treatment implementation.

Description

The owner or operator of an Aquatic facility should evaluate and document all risks that could occur at the aquatic facility.

When evaluating risks at an aquatic facility, the owner or operator should rank all of the risks from highest to lowest. They should also develop a heat map representing an overlap of the pre-determined tolerance level and the level of each risks.

Once the initial risk profile has been developed the owner or operator of the aquatic facility should consider how each risks ranks in relation to other risks in order to conduct a validation of the results. This process may involve a review of risks, their consequences and their likelihood and as a result their risk level.

It will ultimately confirm those risks which:

  • Require treatment
  • Require emergency planning considerations
  • Require further investigation
  • Are acceptable risks

Documenting the Risk Evaluation

Documenting the risk evaluation process should include a prioritised list and heat map of the risks after the evaluation process has been completed.

Monitoring and Review of the Risk Analysis

Monitoring and reviewing of the risk evaluation should include monitoring the consistent application of the evaluation.

Communication and Consultation of the Risk Analysis

Communication and consultation of the Risk Identification process should include:

  1. Identifying the key stakeholders who need to be informed of the risk treatment process
  2. Communication of the outcome of the outcomes of the risk evaluation process
