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.
The PRI: mapping the risks first
Section titled “The PRI: mapping the risks first”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.
The action plan: then the measures
Section titled “The action plan: then the measures”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.
How they relate
Section titled “How they relate”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.
