Risk Management Plan (RMP)

A hazard analysis or study, or a risk assessment, aims at identifying what are the required protective measures to control the hazards, prevent the undesirable events occurrence and minimize the consequences. The effectiveness and availability of these protection systems, both existing and additional, will depend on its adequate maintenance over time. Otherwise, they may deteriorate and show unavailable when demanded. Aiming to maintain these systems adequately, a risk management plan becomes necessary.

This management plan should ensure:
a- process information availability;
b- process hazards review;
c- management of changes;
d- maintenance and integrity assurance of critical systems;
e- operating procedures availability;
f- employee training (staff and contractors);
g- accidents and incidents investigation;
h- an emergency planning;
i- periodic auditing.
