Working Group | Managing Risk – Reduce or eliminate?

This working group will focus on 'Managing Risk - Reduce or eliminate?'

How well do you manage Risk in your workplace?

I am sure that most of you will be able to find a Risk matrix somewhere in your business and many of you will be actively using it.

You will have rules in place that are mostly adhered to. But I suspect that these are sometimes overruled. Am I right?

Should this occur, was this rule broken by a risk-based decision? Or was it based on consequence alone?

While a risk-based approach admits that risk is inevitable, a consequence-based approach disregards the likelihood of an event and thus rejects the concept of risk (consequence v's likelihood).

Consequence-based decisions are mainly made to eliminate the risk rather than reducing it to an acceptable level.

Should senior management in control of major accident/ high hazard facilities adopt any safety strategies based on consequence?

How would such strategies differ under a risk based-model using high consequence, low frequency events and demonstrating that the risk is reduced to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) by a reasonable list of preventative and/or mitigative controls?

Come along and share your opinions on this important topic.
