Risk Register
Hold the risks a group has identified in one place, with the controls that already exist recorded alongside them rather than assumed.
Office and committee · OC-06
A free printable issue log — what has gone wrong, when, who raised it, the impact, who owns it and what was done.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Track the things that have already happened separately from the things that might, so today's problems do not crowd out next month's risks.
Project teams, site managers, facilities teams, committees and small businesses.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Things that have already gone wrong — raised, owned, chased and closed, with the date each stage happened.
Issues are not risks. A risk has not happened yet; an issue has. Keeping them on separate sheets stops the register filling up with today's problems and hiding next month's.

Hold the risks a group has identified in one place, with the controls that already exist recorded alongside them rather than assumed.
Keep every agreed action in one place with a name and a date against it, so the next meeting starts from what happened rather than from memory.
Capture an incident properly on the day, in the affected person's own words, with the witness details and equipment notes that become impossible to gather later.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Every complaint given a reference, so it can be found again.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
Opens PayPal in a new tab. Any amount, and nothing changes if you would rather not.
