Wikipedia defines a risk management plan (RMP) as “a document that a project manager prepares to foresee risks, estimate impact and define responses.” If you don’t have a RMP, you need to develop one. Once you have created a RMP, then you should review it with your roofing insurance agent.

Regulations impact on risk management, and your agent might be aware of regulations that you’ve overlooked. Two, is there any improvements that your agent could suggest to your safety plan?

Risk-assessment levels consist of the following categories:

However, a safety plan, risk- assessment matrix and risk-management strategies comprise the package of steps that you need to complete to protect your company against unexpected liabilities.
