25. Risk Management WHEN IT COMES TO RISK MANAGEMENT, ARE YOU: A Fatalist - willing to react to events without any prior thinking A Fanatic - believing that there are no risks to manage A Pessimist - never willing to take any risks because of a strong fear of failure A Pragmatist - understanding that there is a balance between risk and reward and to identify and manage risks

27. Risk Assessment Risk Rating = Number x Severity x Likelihood Score Action to be taken Less than 10 Risk is acceptable provided cost or effort to control the risk further is very low. 11 – 20 Risk is low. Action is required to reduce the risk, although low priority. Time, effort and cost should be proportional to the risk. 21 –50 Risk is medium . Action required urgently to control. Interim measures may be necessary in the short term.

28. Risk Assessment Risk Rating = Number x Severity x Likelihood Score Action to be taken 51 –100 Risk is high . Action required urgently control risks. Interim measures required in the short term. Significant effort, time etc. may have to be used to control risk. 100 + Risk totally unacceptable , immediate action required before work activity can continue.
