GLOSSARY / Risk management

UXO risk mitigation

Measures selected to manage the UXO risk identified for a project. These can involve further research, changes to planning, specialist investigation, briefings or site support.

THE RRS GLOSSARY

Why it matters to a project

The reason for each measure should be explained. A proportionate plan matches the evidence and proposed activity rather than adopting the same controls on every site.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

The team agrees targeted support for a particular phase rather than assuming identical coverage across the whole development.

A useful distinction

Mitigation does not mean that every remaining uncertainty has disappeared.
