Where her method lives.

Every step in Averon starts from something Lucy wrote.

  1. 01

    Her 14 hazards

    Lucy consolidated the codes into 14. They are the free check.

  2. 02

    Her 5×5 risk matrix

    Likelihood by consequence, from Low to Extreme. Every rating in your register uses it.

  3. 03

    Her order of controls

    Remove the risk where you can, then reduce it. Suggested controls follow that order.

  4. 04

    Her consultation guide

    The staff survey, the pulse check and the record of what you asked and what you said back.

  5. 05

    Her review questions

    Five questions she asks at every review. Averon asks them at your check-in.

  6. 06

    Lucy, when you want her

    She reviews your plan and holds a closing call to answer your questions. Her notes sit in the same record.
