Study Notes
Risk Management Strategies
- Recommended action if a risk cannot be prevented includes planning for a response when the risk materializes.
- Paying someone else to bear the risk is known as risk transfer, often achieved through insurance or outsourcing.
- Risk reduction involves implementing measures to lower the likelihood or impact of a risk, such as contingency planning or improved safety protocols.
Remaining Options in Risk Management
- If avoiding, mitigating, or transferring a risk isn't feasible, accepting the risk becomes the last available option.
Analogy for Risk Reduction
- An analogy used for risk reduction compares it to wearing a seatbelt while driving; it does not prevent accidents but decreases the potential severity of injuries.
Situational Acceptance of Risk
- Accepting a risk may be the only choice when the cost of mitigation exceeds the potential loss, especially in cases where risks are minor or unavoidable.
