<Project Title> Project - Risk Management Plan
1 Executive Summary
The purpose of the document is to provide risk management plan and risk mitigation
responses to the different risks identified in relation to the railway carriage modernisation
project which the Government of WA is considering, using the case study of similar project
undertaken by government of NSW. The project is considered to award to Momentum, which
is the same consortium company undertaking the project of NSW. The maintenance site
suited for the project can be Northam, Western Australia. This report includes the risk
register containing the identified risks.
This document will achieve this by defining the following:
The process which would be undertaken to propose the risk mitigation strategies is to
identify the risks, analyse their effect on the project and then putting forward possible
mitigation strategies.
The risk management strategies would be developed on the basis of risk register and risk
matrix.
The effectiveness to mitigate the risks would be judged yearly and in case of very high risks,
the risk mitigation procedures would be reviewed half yearly basis or even monthly basis.
The reporting of the risks and change of risk status will be undertaken within the project and
to the steering committee following the organisational structure of Government of WA,
hereby referred to as principle. The representatives of Momentum, hereby referred to a
project management company would report the risks to the engineer set by the government.
The engineer may also suggest of changes in risks if the situation demands.

2 Introduction:
The purpose of the research is to make a report for WA government based on a
particular report which was previously released by the government of NSW on 28th February
in the current year i.e. 2019. The government of NSW’s report was on updating its taskforce
by giving award to the work of renovation to momentum that is a global consortium. This
project’s fruitful conclusion would result in the replacement of the old models of train such as
XPLORER and XPT that are over and up about 36 years old. This report for WA government
will also state the purpose of the progression which would concentrate in making the journey
through railway more safe and comfortable for all the passengers. The bearings of the
railway department is that all the places must be under the modern system of CCTV
surveillance, thus permitting caution on all the compartment of the railway more radical. All
the coaches of the railway should be built up in Northam which involves local labour that
can create some income for the community of the locality
The objectives of this assessment would be investigating the possible risks that the
progression of the particular project in the department of Australian railway may be face as
well as recommending the right ways in order to completely diminish or at least some part
diminished them. This report’s scope is to recognise the possible risks that the under
consideration project is more likely to face up so there is an urgent need of preparing a plan
of management of risk in order to manage all the risks.
The regional department as well as the infrastructure department depicts in a particular
report which was released on the month of March (2018) that the future aspects of
Australian railway would be significant enough that they may play a better role in the
transport of intermodal, as a result they will play more significant role in the commerce and
trade department within the country (Infrastructure.gov.au, 2019). This significantly
increasing of Australian railways in the development of Australia’s economy. This has been
demanded the state as well as the central government in order to bring up their
advancement of high level in the services of the railway department within the country.
Nevertheless, railway advancement will going to attract numerous risks that are being
capable of overall troublesome of the progression until now.

3 Risk Assessment
3.1 Identification
Identification of the strategies of suitable treatment of risk or the plan of risk management for
the department of railway project that was undertaken by the government of NA. They would
be playing an essential role in the process of completely diminishing of risks or at least
reduce the risks as low as possible. The graph which is in below shows that the railway
transport ratio would rise in the future in the movement of freight by using of intermodal
method. The Sydney morning Herald boom that the demands among the passengers in the
train that was serving Sydney had been increased by 20% in the year of 2017 (O'Sullivan,
2017). Therefore, it may be assumed that the investment of the passengers of the trains has
heaved further as well as it keeps on up and up heaving. Therefore, it may be jagged that
the plan of the treatment of risk would take into the account of the passenger’s protection
and the merchandise of the train in transport of NSW.

(Source: Infrastructure.gov.au, 2019)
3.2 Analysis and Evaluation
The Government of NA under the supervision of the steering committee should
identify the risks. Then they should analyse the likelihood and seriousness of the
risks identified. The risks have negative impacts on the projects like:
Delay in project completion along poor quality.
Increase in costs of the project
Reduced profits
Escalations from the principle.

4 Risk Mitigation
4.1 Risk 1. Site risks:
4.1.1 Description of risk:
The first risk which railway advancement projects can face is site risks. The Northam
facility is completely bordered by different roads where there are always full of traffic.
Therefore, it is obvious by seeing at the map risk attainment would be a risk only. This all are
happening as there is delay in acquisition and site approval and this will lead to the delay
commencing of the particular project that would in turn will lead to the rising in the cost of
maintenance. Furthermore, the company of the project management such as NA
government and momentum, would come under serious pressure in order to finish the given
project within the time that was specified to them.
4.1.2 Proposed treatment of risk:
In this case, the option of proposed treatment of risk would be initially begin to do the
project only after the confirmation from the site of handed over for the origination of the
required project in writing. The option of 2nd treatment of site risk would be to confirm
Momentum obeys all the laws which are in power actively in the country of Australia as well
as NA, and that are related to the attainment of land from the people locally by forcing as
well as violating into the area of settlement (Enrici & Hubacek, 2018).
4.2 Risk 2. Risks of material:
Another risk that are faced by the railway projects is risks of material that are related
with the raw material’s quality which are used in the work related to construction. The report
of ‘Northam maintenance facility determination’ which clearly shows that the possibility of
the work including roads construction, buildings, parking of the car and roads as the portion
of the assigned work (Transport.nsw.gov.au. 2019). Therefore, it is so obvious from the
given explanation which are consuming materials of lesser in quality for the construction of
the infrastructure that would help to rise in risk collapse of the available building which
causes injury and even in some cases it leads to the death of the persons by using the
buildings (Iqbal et al., 2015). Deep et al. (2017) gives statement in such a way that would
use of the material of the nature of inferior quality in the process of construction of the roads
as well as methods that would lead to an accident which are caused due to the traveller and
damage cars.

4.2.1 Proposed treatment of risk:
The alleviation of the risks of materials could be completely alleviated or at least
alleviate to some extent by numerous strategies. Firstly, the NA government must identify
the specification and the brands of the used materials that need to be used in the work
related to construction. The NA government must make it mandatory for the company of the
project management who all are involved in undertaking the project work in order to follow
the standards of ISO at the time of implementation of the project (ISO.org, 2019). The
required materials obtained for the particular project must have the certification of ISO
mandatorily. This would rather confirm that the required materials obtained for the particular
project adhere to the standards of ISO. This would have shrink the possible building risk and
collapsed of the road, and subsequent impairment. Secondly, engineers should be
appointed by the government itself by their own sources who would have firmly manage the
beginning part of the project for ensuring firmly adherence to the material’s quality
specifications along with their storage.
4.3 Risk 3. Design risk
4.3.1 Description of risk:
Design risks is referred to as the third risk that the project of presenting of newer
trains in the region of NA would like to involve. This all is for the specifications of suitable
design that are essential for ensuring the structures which is being already constructed do
not further collapse. Design of faculty attract numerous risks such as structure collapse at
the time of its construction as well as collapse of the given structure just after the completion
of the given project (Gurcanli, Bilir & Sevim, 2015). The structure collapsed at the time of
construction would lead to a serious injury and even in some cases workers death may
happen, therefore swelling to the health of work as well as safety risks. The structure
collapse after the completion of the whole project may lead to serious injury as well as death
of the workers.
4.3.2 Mitigation of risk:
The first strategy of mitigation of risk that the NA government as well as Momentum
can take place in that in which they must confirm that the specifications of suitable design
that are observed with during construction and planning of the given structures such as
buildings and roads. At later stage, they should confirm that the suitable platform of railway
designs of buildings that are monitored (Nossar et al., 2017).
4.2.1 Proposed treatment of risk:
The alleviation of the risks of materials could be completely alleviated or at least

4.4 Risk 4. WHS risks:
4.4.1 Risk description:
The fourth risk which railway projects attract is work, health and safety risks. This is
because the labourers present on the site are prone to minor injuries. The building of trains
and buildings require use of different types of chemicals, some of which are inflammable.
Moreover, certain chemicals require use chemicals which give out harmful gases and cause
damage the the respiratory system of the labourers. For example, wielding of sheets of
metal while building carriages for the new and advanced trains which Government of NA is
aiming to launch release intense heat and light (Lingard et al. 2015). Moreover, the
construction of the railway couches would involve installation of highly advanced machinery
and intricate network of wires. These machines and wires are also prone to fires and
explosion. Moreover, the labourers involved in the building of roads and buildings which form
parts of the scope of the work of railway modernisation of NA require use of heavy
machinery. The labourers have to move heavy pieces of metals and stones, all of which
attract the risk of injuring them. There have been incidences of workers being injured and
even being killed on site due to rods falling them (Eddie, 2016). Thus, it is evident from the
discussion that railways projects attract immense WHS risks.
4.4.2 Risk mitigation:
The Government of NA has to take serious strategies in order to mitigate the WHS
risks which may take place on site. Total mitigation of WHS risks is not feasible but taking
appropriate steps would reduce them to a great extent. Firstly, the Government of NA should
ensure the contracting company namely, Momentum adopts proper WHS risk mitigation
strategies on construction sites (Brooks et al., 2019). The government should appoint
engineers who would supervise the operations on site and report any lag of safety
measures. Secondly, the government body, through the engineers should ensure that the
chemicals especially the chemicals prone to fire and explosion are stored in appropriate
manner. Secondly, government body should ensure that the labourers working onsite should
be provided with appropriate safety tools like gloves and goggles. Thirdly, the managers
should ensure that there are ambulances available on site so as to rush labourers to
hospitals in events of serious injuries. These measures to a great extent would lead to
reduction of WHS risks on site (Zhang et al. 2015).

5 Risk Monitoring
Risk Management is an iterative process that should be built into the management

6 Roles and Responsibilities
6.1 Steering Committee
Ultimate responsibility for ensuring appropriate risk management processes are applied
rests with the Project Sponsor and Project Steering Committee, and they should be involved
in the initial risk identification and analysis process. The Risk Management Plan and the
Risk Register should provide the Project Sponsor and Project Steering Committee with clear
statements of the project risks and the proposed risk management strategies to enable
ongoing management and regular review.
The Steering Committee will review the Grade A and B project risks on a <specify
frequency, eg. monthly> basis via updated information provided in the Project Status
Reports and provide advice and direction to the Project Manager. The Steering Committee
will also be provided with an updated Risk Register for consideration, as required, when
additional threats emerge or the likelihood or potential impact of a previously identified risk
changes.
6.2 Project Manager
The Project Manager will be responsible for:
Development and implementation of a Project Risk Management Plan;
Organisation of regular risk management sessions so that risks can be reviewed and
new risks identified;
5 Risk Monitoring
Risk Management is an iterative process that should be built into the management
processes for any project. It must be closely linked with Issues Management, as untreated
issues may become significant risks. If prevention strategies are being effective, some of
the Grade A and B Risks should be able to be downgraded fairly soon into the project.

Assessment of identified risks and developing strategies to manage those risks for each
phase of the project, as they are identified;
Ensure that risks given an A grading are closely monitored; and
Providing regular Status Reports to the Steering Committee noting any ‘A’ Grade risks
and specifying any changes to the risks identified during each phase of the project and
the strategies adopted to manage them.
In large or complex projects, the Project Manager may choose to assign risk management
activities to a separate Risk Manager, but they should still retain responsibility. It should be
noted that large projects are a risk in themselves, and the need for the Project Manager to
reassign this integral aspect of project management may be an indication that the project
should be re-scoped, or divided into several sub-projects overseen by a Project Director.
6.3 Project Team
All members of the Project Team will be responsible for assisting the Project Manager in the
risk management process. This includes the identification, analysis and evaluation of risks
and continual monitoring through out the project life cycle.
