Risk Management
John Watt
Overview


An introduction to risk management standards
and frameworks.
An overview of organisational management of
risk, illustrated in part by experience from the
Athlete’s Village case study. How does health
and safety risk management integrate with the
wider organisational controls?
Overview


How do various stakeholders impact on the process? Risk is
dynamic and changes things like budgets, design criteria or
deadlines have an immediate impact on its management.
Experience from the Athlete’s Village case study will show
some ways that such challenges can be met.
Communication with stakeholders means different things at
different parts of the project. The Athlete’s Village stakeholder
map will be used to show examples of this. It is necessary to
have a dialogue with some stakeholders in order to decide what
to do, whereas in other cases risk communication is more
concerned with changing behaviour as part of a management
process.

Culture?

Embedding risk management involves an
environment that can demonstrate leadership
from senior management, involvement of staff
at all levels, a culture of learning from
experience, appropriate accountability for
actions (without developing an automatic
blame culture) and good communication on
risk issues.

Safety Risk
Assessment






Judgements on:
What are the hazards?
What risk events could happen?
How likely are they?
How severe would the outcome be?
Vulnerability?
Some definitions




Hazard – situation which could cause harm e.g.
an earthquake fault line;
Risk – the probability that a certain kind of harm
is realised
Risk assessment – an essentially technical
process of assessing risk
Risk management – a non-technical process of
selecting safety measures
