How do you conduct risk assessments and contingency plans for your FM projects?

It’s highly recommended to conduct risk assessments to review all of the installed and implemented systems efficiency in each building on daily, each quarter, half year and yearly and that’s called preventative plan maintenance (PPM) By conducting risk assessment you will have confidence that all operational systems are working properly to avoid any breakdown maintenance (BDM) This assessment will make sure that all FM managers are controlled all operations by reduce any potential damages caused or increasing in the utility bills and ECT.

Working with risks in mind is very crucial in FM implementation: either at planning, execution or other levels. There is need to draw up a risk register or matrix with their likely effects and against each measures of management be suggested.

Safety and Health is all Stake holders, priority, in any organization, to always being, in the know, in order to mitigate all risk, whereby risk assessment, shall always be critically assessed, and priorities, and work on immediately to mitigate, once the risk is rated as a danger to all, and the environment. This valuable intervention, mitigates, Accident and Incident, to all relevant stakeholders who are responsible for playing, their role and to ensure that, the organization and the environment, remains sustainable for the next generation, and by extension the world. Facility Managers shall play the pivotal, role in achieving this holistic process.

A contingency plan it’s all about allocating enough resource, budget and time for any unexpected events that happened by external events or additional requirements that lead to increasing in the expenses of the timeline of the project delivery due to increased activity plan of the project to match the needs if any.

Contingency plan is fore-preparation for a scenario that is associated to a risk. Its a standby switch(Auto-switch) that prevents overburden pressure accruing in moments of performance. In other terms, its a float or a slack that ought to be provided for in any planning.

In risk management, identification is most potential and there after critical evaluation will help provide a clear path. Risks must be classified or categorized as either financial, operational, environmental, professional, contractual, political, etc.(depending on the trade area and by so doing, the scope of analysis becomes more specific. Drawing more details from the risk factors(operatives, data, surveys,.....) will enhance better assessments and correct ranking with respective findings for better actions.

Contingency planning can only cover those risks that are recognised and understood the real trick is to build in enough flexibility to manage the risks that you were unaware of or arise during the projrct

Yes, I would like to talk about Human Resources training that’s a very important element to be ideal as FM team member. So, when you hired a technical person you should to keep him/her aligned with any updates or news or information related to FM activities and also the person him/her self must involve themselves as well to be an added value and to adapt with any changes as well.
