This risk register template summarises a few of the main risks mining projects and mine sites face, and can be easily edited and formatted for your own use and your own projects for free.

Mine sites and mining projects carry some of the largest risks of any operation in the world. With billions of dollars in assets, thousands of people in dangerous and often remote areas and massive machinery & operations - documenting potential risks ahead of and during a project enable mining companies and other involved parties to mitigate risk through preventative action and create precautionary measures in the case of the worst case scenario.

The mechanism for outlining, recording and managing these risks is the trusty risk register. Risk registers coherently and formulaically outline the risks associated with a particular project - and list the accompanying details of those risks including most importantly:

• The likelihood of that risk occurring
• The impact of that risk if it does occur

Combining these two factors helps teams and companies make smart decisions on how to allocate their resources and what they need to prepare for. This complete risk register template comes pre-built with all the fields you need to properly build and manage a risk register for mining projects and sites:

• Description of risk
• Impact (of risk) on project
• Assessment of likelihood
• Assessment of seriousness
• Resulting grade of risk (likelihood and seriousness combined) & change in grade since last review
• Date of last review
• Mitigation actions and person responsible
• Cost of mitigation actions and date & timeline for completion
