ACTIONS

  • Retrieve your written summaries, stakeholder concerns that could affect the decision, and risk tolerability evaluations
  • Rate each risk management option using the Options Rating Scale (in the workbook) or a similar scale tailored to your situation:
  • Use the above written summaries as a basis for your rating.
  • As shown in the scale, provide ratings for safety risk, infrastructure and costs, and other concerns; thus, each risk management option will have three ratings.
  • Use the rating system 1 = low concern, 2 = moderate concern, 3 = high concern.
  • Add up the figures for each risk management option. (Note:The lower the figure, the better the option.)
  • Rank the options from best (#1) to worst.
