Standing upon the broad shoulders of risk assessments
During our audioconference last week, one listener who called in during our audience Q&A portion asked me about broad risk assessment summaries that go beyond just the environmental safety realm.
When it comes to general risk assessment information, one source that’s been very useful over time is the University of Leeds over in England, which has a Web page devoted to risk assessments.
I can't say that I've done a lot of work with risk assessment summaries (though you can find some fairly extensive information by simply Googling the term “risk assessment summary” from time to time to see what comes up).
That said, what you could do is set up a matrix that identifies the locations within your organization on one axis and identify the most common risks found in your organization on the other axis, and then devise a numerical or color-coded score to indicate the severity of the risk.
Anyone else have good examples of broader-based risk assessments? Click the “Comments” link below to let us know. If any others come to my mind, I’ll post a follow-up.
