• Mitigation – Take steps to reduce the probability and/or impact of a risk. Taking early action, close monitoring, more testing, etc.
http://www.phe.gov/about/amcg/contracts/Documents/risk-management.pdf
Risk mitigation involves two steps: • Identifying the various activities, or steps, to reduce the probability and/or impact of an adverse risk. • Creation of a Contingency Plan to deal with the risk should it occur.
section 2.5 of the above site describes mitigation techniques

Health and Safety Training
For projects involving machinery to remove the possible health and safety issues within a project training should be done .

Regular review meetings

Project review meeting is a powerful method of delivering project status to executive management and other stakeholders, refreshing with them the major bullets of the project vision, reaffirming their commitment to the vision (or identifying any emerging issues with the vision), and cross-pollinating with other projects and with supporting functional groups.

Appropriate communications
Effectively improving your communications
Project communication isn’t always as easy as it may seem, but it is a foundation you can use to build your team, demonstrate your leadership, and provide timely project direction.

Training and monitoring
Training of staff can help lower the risk of any mistakes being made which could impact the project.

Health and Safety:

If project involves using machinery then correct health and safety training can prevent injury and the project being delayed.

Mitigation
Communication/monitoring:

Solution: "The project manager should start by calling the team together (being certain to include off-site staff via the best technology available) and delivering a presentation about the project and its significance in a way that gets everybody fired up."
Solution: "Having a clear process that must be followed is the best way to ensure the pertinent details -- how much it will cost, why it is necessary, the impact on the overall project -- are known before the change is approved. It's also extremely effective for auditing performance during and after project completion."
Solution: Pick a day and time to meet each week (either virtually or in person) that works for the team (not just the project manager) -- and stick with it. "Having specific days and times scheduled, in advance, helps to keep everyone on the same page and keeps the project flowing."

The ultimate purpose of risk identification and analysis is to prepare for risk mitigation.

https://www.mitre.org/publications/systems-engineering-guide/acquisition-systems-engineering/risk-management/risk-mitigation-planning-implementation-and-progress-monitoring

Risk mitigation planning is the process of developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and reduce threats to project objectives.

http://www.brighthubpm.com/risk-management/49633-why-risk-mitigation-is-important-to-project-managers/

Risk mitigation is the act of decreasing the riskiness of a project.

Health and safety training
use of RISK profiling to determine required and most needed training.
Risk profiling

The risk profile of an organisation informs all aspects of the approach to leading and managing its health and safety risks.

Every organisation will have its own risk profile. This is the starting point for determining the greatest health and safety issues for the organisation. In some businesses the risks will be tangible and immediate safety hazards, whereas in other organisations the risks may be health-related and it may be a long time before the illness becomes apparent.

A risk profile examines:

the nature and level of the threats faced by an organisation
the likelihood of adverse effects occurring
the level of disruption and costs associated with each type of risk
the effectiveness of controls in place to manage those risks

The outcome of risk profiling will be that the right risks have been identified and prioritised for action, and minor risks will not have been given too much priority. It also informs decisions about what risk controls measures are needed
