Why operators use it
We use this report to learn from an incident or near miss by understanding how the work system produced the event, fixing the underlying causes and checking that the fix actually works.
RISK-04 captures the event while information is fresh. RISK-05 is used when the event needs a deeper, proportionate examination. Its job is not to complete a “five whys” exercise or identify someone to blame. Its job is to understand how conditions, decisions, controls, information, resources, work practices, equipment, people and external interfaces came together to produce the event.
