What is a Risk Register Template?
A Risk Register Template is a ready-to-go format used to log, track, and manage risks throughout a project. It captures key risk information such as the risk description, risk ID, risk category, potential impact, likelihood, risk owner, and proposed risk mitigation strategies.
Whether you're managing project risks, construction risks, design risks, compliance issues, or broader enterprise risk management initiatives, a comprehensive template helps ensure that no potential risk goes unnoticed.
If you're looking for a faster, easier way to manage risks across your portfolio, 911±¬ÁÏÍø offers built-in risk tools that go beyond spreadsheets. It is designed specifically for capital works teams.
How to Use This Template
In 911±¬ÁÏÍø, you can use this project risk register template in an easy-to-use, digital format with built in risk matrix, risk categories etc..., and reporting. It’s designed to support live risk workshops, streamline data entry, and automate identified risk calculations, making it a powerful tool for capital projects and construction teams.
Here’s how it works:
1. Set up Your Project Risk Register in 911±¬ÁÏÍø
Start by entering known risks or importing existing ones from Excel. You can tag risk categories, assign risk owners, and pre-fill fields for your workshop.
2. Run a Live Risk Workshop and Identify Risks
During the session, capture identified risks in real time—right in 911±¬ÁÏÍø. As you assess likelihood and potential impact, 911±¬ÁÏÍø automatically calculates your risk score, residual risk, and visualises it on a live dashboard.
3. Assign Actions and Track Changes
Add risk responses, monitor progress, and track risk mitigation strategies over time. Every update is time-stamped and visible to the full team—so you're managing risks, not chasing versions.
4. Use Dashboards for Real-time Reporting
Once you have identified your risks, 911±¬ÁÏÍø generates dynamic visuals and risk reports. This means you can instantly see your project’s highest risk, risk profile, identify priorities, and drive informed decisions.
5. Continue Tracking
The register becomes a live tool. Risk owners can update statuses, add risk mitigation strategies, and revise risk ratings as things change. This ensures the effective risk management plan stays active and visible.
