What a PRI and an action plan are

In pest control, two documents together capture the approach at a location: the PRI and the action plan. This article explains what they are and how they follow on from each other.

PRI stands for risk inventory. It is a questionnaire that systematically maps a location’s pest risks: what attracts pests, where the weak spots are, which measures are already in place. The answers give a factual picture of the starting situation.

A submitted PRI is recorded as a PDF and can no longer be edited. That keeps it a reliable snapshot.

Based on the risks, the action plan (PvA) describes what you are going to do: the strategy, the substantiation, and the intended measures (preventive, monitoring, and curative), with a planning. The action plan is the agreement part — the document the customer and technician sign together.

The PRI provides the facts, the action plan the agreements. That is why you can attach a PRI as an appendix to an action plan: the reader then sees at a glance which risk inventory the chosen measures rest on. Both documents belong to the location and end up in the dossier once finalized.
