A Risk Mitigation, Monitoring and Management (RMMM) method has been applied. A “BRAG” analysis approach has been adopted which assigns scoring to risks on the basis of their likelihood and impact, then assigning each risk with the BRAG status (Black, Red, Amber or Green) which are in turn indicative of high likelihood, high impact (Black) to low likelihood, low impact (Green). As a result, six (6) risks of relevance (Red and Amber severity) were identified in the initial phase which warranted further scrutiny. To help project participants to identify and list as many potential risks as possible, a specific template for H2OCEAN has been prepared, forming the basis for the project risk register. Potential risks have then been analysed to assess the probability of occurrence and impact on H2OCEAN, should a risk occur. In short, these results highlighted the need for close scrutiny of the selection of sites related to the efficacy of the developments of the related WPs and their integral equipment.
