name: wsh-risk-control-planning
description: Convert accepted WSH risk-assessment gaps or recommendations into an implementation and effectiveness-verification plan. Use for hierarchy-of-control selection, owners, deadlines, interim protection, evidence, and residual-risk confirmation; do not treat planned controls as implemented.

# Plan and Verify Risk Controls

Start from accepted hazards, review findings, or control gaps. Do not reopen the whole RA unless a proposed control introduces a new hazard or exposes a material causal gap.

## Planning rules

- Consider elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative controls, then PPE.
- Explain when a higher-order option is not selected.
- Specify owner, target date, interim measures, dependencies, implementation evidence, effectiveness measure, reviewer, and review date.
- Identify new hazards and change-management actions.
- Keep current, projected residual, and confirmed residual risk separate.
- Do not mark a control effective from planning, purchasing, attendance, or installation evidence alone.

## Output table

| Action ID | Hazard / RA row | Required control | Hierarchy level | Owner | Target date | Interim protection | Dependencies | Implementation evidence | Effectiveness measure and acceptance criterion | Reviewer / review date | Status | Projected residual risk | Confirmed residual risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Use `Not yet verified` until effectiveness evidence is available. Do not invent escalation thresholds.
