This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been involved with workplace and process risk management for over 30 years and I have always found the subject fascinating and rewarding. However, I am still surprised at the lack of deep understanding within Organisations about risk management. Regardless of Organisation size, many see it as just “managing risks” because it’s easier to explain and perhaps reactionary since it has the word “management”. Risk management is more than just “managing risks”. Successful risk management requires a holistic approach based upon Elements that make up a Risk Management Framework. Let’s pretend you are my Client and I’ve asked you these 7 questions: 1. Do you know the relationship between attitude and risk management? 2. Do you know how to control workplace and process risks? 3. Do you know the difference between hazard identification and risk assessment? 4. Do you know what or who is a risk owner? 5. Do you know what you are measuring for successful risk management? 6. Do you know what or when you are monitoring for risk management? 7. Do you know what to do when reviewing risk management? Did you answer “YES” to all of them? If you did, you don’t need this book. If you had even just one “NO” as an answer, this book is worth reading. This is a reference book and not a novel. In this book, risk management is focused on workplace and process related risks. However, the approach and techniques can be applied for risk management generally. My goal is to share valuable lessons learnt and my experience of getting risk management successfully embedded within your Organisation. My intended audiences are risk and safety management practitioners, trainers, managers, leaders in Organisations and anyone interested in successfully managing risks.

Download or read book Simplifying Risk Management written by Patrick Roberts and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen much greater attention paid to risk management at an organizational level, as evidenced by the proliferation of legislation, regulation, international standards and good practice guidance. The recent experience of Covid-19 has only served to heighten this attention. Growing interest in the discipline has been accompanied by significant growth in the risk management profession; but practitioners are not well served with suitable books to guide them in their work or challenge them in their professional development. This book attempts to place the practice of risk management within organizations into a broader context, looking as much at why we try to manage risk as how we try to manage risk. In doing so, it challenges two significant trends in the practice of risk management: • The treatment of risk management primarily as a compliance issue within an overall corporate governance narrative; and • The very widespread use of qualitative risk assessment tools (“heat maps” etc.) which have absolutely no proven effectiveness. Taken together, these trends have resulted in much attention being devoted to developing formalized systems for identifying and analyzing risks; but there is little evidence that this is driving practical, cost-effective efforts to actually manage risk. There appears to be a preoccupation with the risks themselves, rather than a focus on the positive actions that can (and should) be taken to benefit stakeholders. This book outlines a simple, quantitative approach to risk management which refocuses attention on treating risks; and presents choices about risk treatment as normal business decisions.
