(e.g. guarding/containment, alternate equipment/workplace, alternate time in the schedule or increased future processing rate)? Considering the above, the Required Date is:  The date by which an event that will create a safety or environmental threat is probable  The date by which a delay in the completion of a scheduled critical path activity is probable. or  Not more than an agreed service level period (e.g. 6 weeks) from the date of Work Request creation. Impact: In determining the Impact, the following need to be considered:  What potential events could occur?  What is the probability over time of an event occurring?  What are the potential consequences?
