Completing Actions
The responsible person is to record, signing and dating, all actions taken in the action taken box.
To assist the responsible person to manage the actions within this report the following HSE guidance term should be considered when addressing the actions required:
“So Far as is Reasonably Practicable”
In a perfect world, all risks are to be eliminated, or as a minimum reduced as far as possible. However, it is recognised that not all risks can be completely removed. In most instances the law allows the responsible person to take into account any time, budget or legal constraints.
For example, if it is considered that it would cost an unreasonable amount of money to comply with a recommended action while taking into account the established level of risk, then to comply with the recommendation may not be considered as
“Reasonably Practicable”
When an action is recommended for an improvement that may attract a significant cost, the risk advisor will not be aware of any budget constraints that the responsible person may have. The SFAIRP allows the responsible person to weigh up the cost against the risk and then justify why a recommendation is not carried out.
We recommend that whatever the course of action taken the details are noted on the individual Actions for any Legal non-compliances and Hazards identified along with any alternative measures that have been put in place.
