Assess the Mitigated Risk

This topic describes how to perform a mitigated risk assessment for a Safeguard in a hazards analysis.

Note: You can assess the mitigated risk for a Safeguard only if the corresponding Hazards Analysis is in the Planning state.

Steps

  1. Access the Safeguard for which you want to assess the mitigated risk.

    If you have already performed a risk assessment for the Safeguard, the overall risk rank and the risk ranks for each category are displayed above the datasheet for the Safeguard. If a risk assessment has not yet been performed for the Safeguard, then only the unmitigated risk ranks are displayed.

  2. Above the datasheet for the Safeguard, select the section that displays the risk rank.

    The Mitigated Risk Assessment window appears, displaying the risk matrix for each category.

  3. Specify the mitigated risk rank for each category as applicable, and then select Save.

    The overall mitigated risk rank and risk ranks for individual categories are displayed above the datasheet for the Safeguard. Depending on your configuration, the overall risk rank can be the highest or the sum of all the ranks for all the categories.

    Note: See the Overview of the Risk Matrix section of the documentation for additional options when working with the risk matrix.
