Risk & compliance

The three-register model

Hazards, risks and controls — and what each register answers.

LMLevi Mieliv1.1

Hazards are what you find; risks are what you assess; controls are what you do about them. Each register links to the others, and assessments carry inherent and residual scoring so treatment progress is visible rather than asserted.
