Assignment 1 [Part A] : HIRARC Program
Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by taking
steps and action to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate
events while maximizing the productivity. Risks can come from uncertain events in financial
markets, project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as
well as deliberate attacks from an adversary. Methods, definitions and goals are different
according to whether the risk management method is in the context of project management,
security, engineering, industrial processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public
health and safety.
The strategies to manage risk include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk,
reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a
particular risk.

hierarchical organizational structure tends to exist (managers, front-line personnel, physical and
operational barriers, etc).

Conclusion
Its primary responsibility is to ensure safety and health of work lies with those who create the
risks and those who work with the risks. It’s also important to understand different types of
hazards that presence in the workplace. The employer and employee should learn how to
effectively identify hazards in the workplace. We must understand the main occupational hazard
groups and the health risks that certain workplace hazard pose. If there’s an incident occurs,
evaluate the risks associated with the identified hazards and we should make recommendations
on eliminating or reducing the risks of these hazards. Employer should determine the appropriate
hazards control measures and assess the effectiveness of the control measures taken. Either
employer or employee, they should appreciate the importance of hazards identification process
as a means to avoid accidents in the workplace.
