Establish an enterprise-wide system of portfolio risk management across defence and decommissioning sectors
Enterprise-wide portfolio risk management
Develop and implement systems that allow portfolio risks across defence and decommissioning sectors, to be properly managed, while maintaining the respective duties and responsibilities of dutyholders and regulators.
Adopt a system of top-down risk apportionment which accounts for the interdependency of activities across each sector portfolio risks to produce an overall ALARP position and achieve defence and decommissioning missions.
Government Response: Pan-enterprise safety systems
The Government will establish pan-enterprise safety systems with portfolio-level risk management, directly addressing the Taskforce's recommendation. Delivery will be incremental through a combination of policy and legislative reform, with completion targeted by end 2027 — consistent with the original timeline. This is a significant commitment that would enable the defence and decommissioning sectors to manage risk across their entire portfolio rather than on a site-by-site basis, which has been a major source of inefficiency.
