Implementing an Effective Risk Management Program
The Guiding Principles of Risk Management (RM)
A. Integrate RM into all phases of missions and operations. Effective RM requires that the process be integrated into all phases of mission or operational planning, preparation, execution, and recovery on a continuing basis. It is much more cost effective to plan up front during building construction and renovation to imbed safety, fire and environmental protection systems than to retro-fit after the fact.
B. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. As a decision-making tool, RM is only effective when the information is concentrated on the appropriate supervisory level for decision. The higher the risk, the higher the

| |assigned to controlled hazards. |
Communication: Leaders and executive must gain employee trust and confidence and communicate the execution strategy and share the expected results.
Changing circumstances within the workplace can cause hazards because other workers can be put at risk because they haven’t been made aware of the changes and management needs to be informed. Risk assessment is a method put in place that is suitable and sufficient to control the risk to health and safety to both employees and other persons who may be affected.
The idea behind a risk assessment is to attempt to identify all the potential risks associated with a particular activity. The risk assessment will normally be carried out by the nominated Health and Safety Officer.
In other words, we will first and foremost develop a risk management plan, identify the different risks associated to the project, then conduct a qualitative risk analysis.
4.3: To carry out a risk assessment first of all you need to identify the hazards, then decide who might be harmed and how. Then evaluate the risks and decide on precaution and then record your findings and implement on them. After this is done review your assessment and update if necessary.
1.3- Explain what risk assessment is and how this is managed in the work setting.
Develop and submit a risk register based on the 10 risks you have assessed within the project you selected. Your register should have four sections.
Health and Safety Executive (n.d.2) explain five steps of risk assessment that are ‘identify the hazards, decide who might be harmed and how, evaluate the risks and decide on precautions, record your significant findings, and review your assessment and update if necessary’.
6. The risk assessment team will conduct an inspection of the department/area being assessed for risk or observe the process being assessed for risk in action. The members of the risk assessment team will individually document their findings on the “ABC Proactive Risk Assessment Worksheet” (Attachment A). To determine the appropriate score for each identified risk, the reviewer will consider information obtained through a physical tour of the facility, review of annual incident
The second step is to determine if the risk are from human nature or from natural causes, if they are from human nature it is important to find out if there are any ways to eliminate or at least mitigate the risk and if the company can do it what would be the cost.
Write an initial draft of the risk management plan as detailed in the instructions above.
Implement. Effective risk management allocates the greatest resources towards mitigating the most critical risks. How does Lee’s program accomplish this? Absent such a clearly defined allocation process, what might go wrong with a resource allocation process?
Worthington Industries Inc. is a “global, diversified, metals manufacturing company” (Worthington Industries, Inc., 2016). The business plans to continue growth by implementing more manufacturing plants in different geographic locations. To do this, the business must strategically plan the implementation of the new plants in order to maintain quality while offering affordability to existing and new customers. As part of the implementation plan the objectives, functional tactics, action items, milestones, task ownership, and resource allocation will be discussed. There will be a need in changing management strategies to enhance successful outcome of the new communities. Some key success factors to ensure success is budget and forecasted financials. If indeed the environment factors such as economic hardships arise a contingency plan will be in place.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction, purpose, and rational for selecting a nursing theory. I will describe the theory by identifying the purpose, concepts/definitions, relationships/structure, and assumptions. I will use the Chinn & Kramer evaluation criteria to critique this chosen theory. Finally I will describe a plan for implementing the theory into my practice setting, identifying any barriers and challenges.
