The Risk Assessment template in AnyDB helps teams proactively identify, assess, mitigate, and track potential risks associated with a task, process, or operation. This structured document supports both pre- and post-resolution assessments to ensure accountability and reduce exposure to avoidable risks.

Suitable for

Operations & Logistics

Description

This template organizes the risk review into distinct phases—identification, evaluation, mitigation planning, and post-resolution analysis. It includes fields for severity, likelihood, and resolution status and provides visual cues through color-coded select options. It is particularly suitable for operations, quality, or safety teams managing recurring risk evaluations.

It includes support for rich-text fields, attachments, SOP references, and color-coded dropdowns for clear visibility on risk level and resolution progress.
