Pathfinder - Risk Management
Scope Note
It can be defined as the culture, processes, and structures that are directed
towards the effective management of potential opportunities and adverse effect.
This is a broad definition that can quite rightly apply in nearly all fields of
management from financial and human resources management through to environmental
management, However in the context of the contaminated sites. Risk Management can be taken
to mean the process of gathering information to make informed decisions to minimize the
risk of adverse effect to the people and the environment.
(Source:http://contamsites.landcareresearch.co.nz/whatisriskman.html)
The process of measuring, or assessing risk and then developing strategies to manage
the risk. In general, the strategies employed include transferring the risk to another
party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or
all of the consequences of a particular risk. Traditional risk management focuses on risk
stemming from physical or legal causes (e.g. natural disasters on fires, accidents, death
and lawsuits). Financial risk management on the other hand, focuses on risks that can be
managed using traded financial instruments. Regardless of the type of risk management
teams and small groups and corporations practice informal, if not formal risk
management. (Source: http://managementglossary.info/)
Is defined as a systematic process for the identification and evaluation of pure
loss exposures faced by an organization or individual, and for the selection and
implementation for the most appropriate techniques for treating such exposures.
