1. In relation to the activities, revenues or profits on your site, are you aware of the importance/impact of the following ‘site components’ listed under point 14? Could this impact be cyclical, seasonal or variable? Could this impact change in the future? Is there a strategic development plan in place that is looking one, three or five years in advance, and how this develops the site or its activities in the future??
2. Where there is more than one on-site provision of a component, e.g. multiple production lines, more than one supplier: • Have you quantified the impact of each, on the impact to the site as a whole ( e.g. 2 electrical supplies each capable of 50%; 3 production lines 1 x 50%, 1 x 30% ,1 x 20%, etc.)?
3. For each 'site component' listed under point 14: • Are you aware of the actual physical layout or routing of the components on/across your site (e.g. data cabling route around the site, warm materials storage arrangements, process line layout etc.)? • If appropriate, are you aware of how this is arranged off site?
4. Are you aware of the various exposures and threats to the physical arrangements of the various components which make up your site? Threats can include fire, smoke, fire water, escape of water, gas/chemical leak/release, flood, wind, vandalism, third parties. Have you considered where the site components in point 14 are most vulnerable to these threats? Have you considered that a single threat may impact more than one site component simultaneously?
5. For each site component below, have you quantified the potential impact to the site activities? This should include physical damage, clean-up and recovery and returning to ‘as expected’ operations.
6. Do you know how you would recover each of these site components? Does this recovery change, based on the threat?
7. Do you know how long this recovery would take in each case?
8. Is this impact and recovery to your activities acceptable to you and your risk appetite?
9. Are any assumptions you have made in this process confirmed? If not or they are challenged, then the basis for the assessment needs to be revisited….or the actual conditions on site changed to meet the actual assumption made.
10. Do your existing management systems and procedures support the assumptions and outputs from this process, or do they need to be more comprehensive and robust?
11. Do your existing automatic detection systems, protection systems, interlocks and controls support the assumptions and outputs from this process for each site component, or do they need enhancing?
12. Do your existing emergency response plans, recovery and salvage plans and business continuity plans support the assumptions and outputs from this process, or do they need to be more comprehensive and thorough?
13. Once complete, is there a formal return process in place to revisit these risk assessments for the various site components?
