Water safety plan
A risk-based management plan that pulls water-system hazards, controls and responsibilities together into a single living document, going beyond a one-off risk assessment. It is regarded as best practice generally and is expected in higher-risk settings such as healthcare, rather than being a universal legal requirement for every building.
