DEFINITION: WHAT IS RISK?
Risk is defined as the likelihood of the hazard causing harm.
Risk is defined as the chance of something happening that will have an
negative impact.
Risk is the combination of the probability of occurrence (P) and the
severity (S) of the potential non-conformity.
RISK MANAGEMENT?
Systematic application of management policies,
procedures, and practices to the tasks of
analyzing, evaluating, controlling, and monitoring
risk.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
RISK IDENTIFICATION
Systematic process to understand the nature of and to reduce the level of risk.

How to estimate?
In the absence of any data on the probability of occurrence of harm, it is not possible to estimate the
risk, and it may be necessary to evaluate the risk on the basis of the nature and severity of the harm
alone. If it can be concluded that the hazard is of little practical consequence, the risk can be judged
to be acceptable and no risk control measures are necessary.
For significant hazards, however, which
could inflict harm of high severity such as those noted above, no level of exposure can be identified that
would correspond to a risk so low that it can be ignored. In such cases, the risk estimate should be made
on the basis of a reasonable worst-case estimate of probability. In some instances, it is convenient to set
this default value of the probability to one and to base risk control measures on preventing the hazard
entirely, reducing the probability of harm to an acceptable level or in reducing the severity of the harm.
