Communicating & Managing Risk: The Key Result of Risk Assessment
Summary: By itself, risk assessment does not
achieve its objectives. Risk communication
is required to reduce
uncertainty and manage operational
risks. Assessing risks within an organization
enables decision makers
to properly manage risks and make
plausible decisions.
Safety professionals must be able to
effectively communicate the risk to
top decision makers. This requires understanding
the nature of the decision
to be made, and the specific information
needed to help make an informed
decision.
OSH professionals should select
and design risk assessment methods
to identify, assess and communicate
not only operational risks and their
controls, but also the resulting business
consequences and downstream
effects.
