Details of Observation

Statement of Observation: Link between risk register actions and HSQE objectives could be strengthened. Risk mitigation actions tracked separately from objective programmes, potentially missing synergies.

Planned Actions

Containment Action(s), including correction, with supporting completion date(s):

  1. Map current risk actions to objectives (31/12/2025)
  2. Update APP_11 with risk references (31/01/2026)
  3. Integrate planning processes (28/02/2026)

Root Cause

Primary Cause: Parallel development of risk and objective processes  Contributing Factors: Different review cycles not aligned

Proposed Corrective Action

  1. Add risk reference column to objectives register.
  2. Ensure high-priority risks drive objective setting.
  3. Align review cycles.

Verification

  1. [x] Updated APP_11 showing risk linkages.
  2. [x] Evidence of risk-informed objective setting in next planning cycle.

Points noted

  1. Combined risk-objective reviews
  2. Integrated action tracking
  3. Resource allocation based on risk

Feedback & Acknowledgments

Planning team to coordinate integration efforts.
