Maintaining the infrastructure of our facilities is critical to ensuring effective ministry, safe environments for occupants, and efficient operations. Our risk matrix helps facility managers identify and prioritize areas of risk, and take proactive measures to manage them.
| Severity vs Likelihood | Limited impact | Group-wide impact | Demographic-wide impact | Congregation-wide impact | Community-wide impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maint. req’d | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| End-of-life | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
| Failure of function | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 |
| Unsafe or unusable | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
Once risks have been identified, facility managers can create a risk management plan to reduce or eliminate them. This plan should include a strategy for responding to risks, such as initiating a repair or implementing an emergency protocol. It should also include a timeline for addressing risks, as well as a budget for the necessary actions.
Internal risks typically stem from the facility itself and include such issues as poor maintenance or inadequate safety protocols.
External risks may be caused by forces outside of the facility's control, such as equipment failure or natural disasters.
