FIGURE 2 KEY LEGISLATION, STANDARDS AND WWU REQUIREMENTS The business risk process
The BRP is used to ensure the SHEA
management system is applied in
proportion to the hazards and risks of
our business. Hazards and risks are
identified, evaluated and recorded, then
are rated on their likelihood to occur.
The risk is also rated by the impact
(should it occur), and is assessed at
three levels:
Inherent risk = inherent likelihood x
inherent impact
Target risk = target likelihood x target
impact
Current risk = current likelihood x
current impact
The BRP is used to prioritise
audits within our three-year rolling
audit programme, and annual audit
