- First step involves identifying risks present in business operations such as legal, environmental, market, and regulatory risks.
- Identifying a broad range of potential risks enhances preparedness and response strategies.
- Common risks include fire damage, slip and fall accidents, vehicle accidents, and product-related losses.
Analyzing the Risk
- Once risks are identified, a thorough analysis is essential to assess the probability and impact of each risk.
- This helps focus on high-priority risks that require immediate attention and treatment plans.
Treatment of Risk
- Developing a treatment plan involves solving or reducing identified risks to mitigate their impact on operations.
- Proper resource allocation for risk treatment is crucial for maintaining project momentum.
- Adopt a proactive approach to risk management for effective treatment rather than waiting for risks to materialize.
Monitoring the Risk
