A risk register is not an early-warning system.
Construction risk changes dynamically with ground, water, support behaviour, access, temporary works, operations and human response. The useful question is not only what can go wrong, but what observable condition should trigger action before it does.
PMDCS approach
Define observable indicators, thresholds, response actions, authorised decision roles, escalation logic and closure tracking around the actual construction sequence.
Typical outputs
- Construction-stage risk register
- Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) structure
- Monitoring and escalation logic
- Stop / hold / inspect decision points
- Accountability and closure workflow
