 Explanation of what is risk assessment
o A risk assessment or Analysis is a broad term which encompasses the
identification, and critical analysis of risk factors for a given activity. We can
choose which elements will include in the risk assessment, because this depends
in part on the subject of the assessment.
o Every day we are making decisions and in doing so we conduct a kind of informal
risk assessments.
o First of all we should to identify a risk which means that we examine the
likelihood of occurrence and the seriousness of impact. Risk is then prioritized
using any reasonable scale, for example, Extremely High Risk to Very Low. A risk
that has a lower possibility of occurring, but has serious consequences, is given a
higher risk level than something that is more likely to occur.
o Eliminate and Mitigate, any risk other than very low needs to be addressed, also
we should evaluate the risk and take some steps to avoid with this.
o Monitoring, a risk assessment is not a static process. The results are continually
or periodically monitored. This would include the monitoring of any process that
were implemented to reduce the risk factor to what is considered an acceptable
level and to maintain the efficacy of the assessments.
