Afternoon all - would be interested in any views on this: I am currently reviewing risk assessments for the site. The original assessments flagged up that additional controls were required however now most of these additiional controls have been closed out. May question is: should the reviewed assessment now show the closed out additional controls as controls that are now in place.. or does it add more credibility to the assessment to leave the additional contols showing from the original assessment and to show these have been successfully closed out.
Any views appreciated Many thanks
Hope that makes sense

If it helps, I do both. I add the new controls into the risk assessment and this flows through to the safe system of work. I also have a "review" page attached to each risk assessment with notes from the reviews, dated of course. I include them so that the risk assessment is complete should someone just print it off and to avoid confusion when reviewing them. However I like to have a record of what was done, when and by whom, just in case I need to know at a later date.

If additional controls were identified by a previous assessment and they have in time been implemented then at the time of review they have become an existing control.
If you follow a two column table listing existing and additional controls then at the first assessment there will be items in both columns. Over time as you revisit the assessment items from the right column will either move across to the left as "existing" at date of inspection, remain on the right as still requiring completion or be removed as no longer appropriate.
IMHO the "live document" should reflect the current status, archive versions of the document should demonstrate the history.
