Course description

Holistic risk management is (and should be) used within organizations to gain a competitive advantage. Structure and effective processes provide an opportunity to identify and manage risks, thereby limiting negative consequences. Safety is one risk amongst many that organizations have, and therefore, it is important to ensure that processes for safety risk management are integrated and aligned with the wider business activities.

This course extends the knowledge and skills developed during Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Control I by focusing on systematic approaches required to effectively manage an organization’s risk. The course will provide students with an opportunity to develop appropriate risk management strategies and identify the most appropriate tools and methodologies that an organization can use.
