Build a risk assessment matrix, create mitigation plans, and track risk management, all from the new risks module. Similar to issues, teams can flag and manage risks within procedures, providing control over variables that can negatively impact your operation.

The associated Risk(s) will be listed at the top of the procedure runs.
Click into the Risk from the procedure to complete the mitigation plan.
Custom Details
Custom Details can be added in the Risks Settings page, which is accessible using the gear icon to the right of the Risks module.
Archive Risks
Why Archive a Risk
Archiving a risk helps keep the Risks organized and focused.
Risks that are no longer relevant—because they have been resolved, mitigated, or are no longer applicable—can be archived to reduce clutter in active lists.
Archived risks remain accessible for historical reference or auditing, ensuring that past issues are preserved without interfering with current workflows. This practice helps teams prioritize active risks while maintaining a clear record of all past risk management activities.
Risks can be archived from the Draft, Active, and Accepted state.
Archived Risks can be found in the Archived Tab of the Risks module.
Archived Risks can be moved back to Draft, regardless of what state they were in prior to being Archived.
