AAOM Handbook

 Can a practice, procedure or operation be modified to reduce or remove the need for the work?  Are any hazards and risks associated with changes to work scope or method adequately considered and addressed?  Is the consequence of not doing the work acceptable?  Can action be taken to limit the consequences of not doing the work?  Are the potential consequences of an alternative approach, delaying the work, or taking no action within the risk guidelines for the business area? This decision must be made by a person with the appropriate technical expertise. If a change to the work specification is possible, the request is to be directed back to the appropriate person for modification. If the work is not required, the Work Request is to be cancelled. Time Review of a Work Request must be completed within 1 working day of the creation of the Work Request. Resources Completion of this task is the accountability of the role nominated on the configured Work Approval flowchart.
