Change Risk Assessment

A change risk assessment is one way to evaluate the risk associated with a new process, equipment, or other workplace
change. Change risk assessments prevent the organization from being negatively affected by the potentially negative
impact of poorly planned change.

Look at your old and new systems side by side to determine where a worker may be exposed to new or heightened risks. If
the risks are properly identified, better safety measures and strategies can be implemented.

Catastrophic Consequences Example: Community impact. Structural or irreparable consequences.

Major Consequences Example: Minor or moderate discomfort or exposure that would result in long-term consequences.

Minor Consequences Example: Minor consequences that can be resolved.

Negligible Consequences: Unimportant or of so little consequence as to warrant little or no attention.

Summary:

Management of change has been adopted and proposed due to a change in the design of WTG specification that requires a more experienced workforce that has
served/worked before with that same specification of WTG. The risk for this change seemed to be low as there were several letters were obtained from the
concerned higher authorities, furthermore risk will be assessed when ever change is required to mitigate the consequence arising from the proposed changes.

Remember that risk assessment is an iterative process, and it should be revisited periodically or whenever there are significant changes in the
environment or project. Regularly updating the risk assessment ensures that it remains relevant and effective in guiding risk management
efforts.

Design Change and the specification of WTG.

1) Ribbed foundation (octagonal raft, more complicated formwork), from HDEC's wind farm project in UAE.
2) Conventional gravity foundation, HDEC's wind farm project in Pakistan.
