DIW Future Safety capability theme: data-readiness checklist

The recovered public-source record states: DIW's Future Safety Symposium focused on risk assessment and organisational safety capability. It confirms only the described event, not that a company has obtained eligibility, approval, benefit or a compliance conclusion.

Define the business use case and boundary first. State the decisions, legal entities and systems in scope, and use one actual area or activity through a complete assessment-and-control loop as the rehearsal case; keep any unsupported state as unconfirmed.

Create a data catalogue covering at least hazard, equipment and area, activity, risk assessment, control, inspection, training, incident, corrective action and evidence. Give every field a business definition, format, system source, accountable function, update timing and acceptable evidence.

Standardise identifiers for entities, counterparties, documents, projects or transactions, retaining aliases and historical versions. Do not merge on names alone or overwrite a version referenced by past activity.

Map every state in hazard identification → risk assessment → control → activity and inspection → incident or exception → corrective action → effectiveness review to its source document, owner and timestamp, with a visible queue for missing, conflicting, stale or unauthorised data.

Test completeness, consistency, timeliness and traceability on a small sample and record gaps instead of inventing values. Expand only after operations, finance and IT sign off the boundary.
