Risk Management - Risk Assessment Techniques (I...
IEC 31010:2019 is published as a double logo standard with ISO and provides guidance on the selection and application of techniques for assessing risk in a wide range of situations. The techniques are used to assist in making decisions where there is uncertainty, to provide information about particular risks and as part of a process for managing risk. The document provides summaries of a range of techniques, with references to other documents where the techniques are described in more detail. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:• more detail is given on the process of planning, implementing, verifying and validating the use of the techniques;• the number and range of application of the techniques has been increased;• the concepts covered in ISO 31000 are no longer repeated in this standard.Keywords: uncertainty, risk management

The Institute of Internal Auditors Qatar Chapter held a training session on 'Simple Risk Assessment Techniques for internal auditors' by Alaba Adedamola Awolaja from Nigeria. Alaba Awolaja, CIA, is a business professional and consultant with over a decade of banking and financial services. He is a dedicated risk management professional with a keen focus on identifying, assessing, managing, and controlling potential events that may affect entities' objectives and prevent/detecting fraud.
'Risk assessment is the overall process of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation. Risk assessment is at the center of a typical risk management process. Internal audit's risk assessments start by considering inherent risk, the combination of internal and external risks in their pure, uncontrolled state," said Alaba in his opening remarks.
The factors that influence selecting the right risk assessment technique depend on the complexity of the problem, the degree of uncertainty, the extent of resources needed, and the quantitative output requirement. The most common techniques are Brainstorming, Delphi, Scenario analysis, Structure What If (SWIFT), Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), Business Impact Analysis, Bow Tie Analysis, etc. Alaba detailed each technique on the correct usage, differentiating factors, comparative strengths, and relative benefits.
"Alaba's presentation was highly useful to improve continuous risk assessments in this era of the dynamic risks to navigate the stormy and uncertain future of businesses. The insightful presentation followed a great Q&A session that was appreciated for practical inputs," said Sundaresan Rajeswar Board member of the IIA Qatar
"I have seen the use of elaborate, time-consuming methodologies, including formulas, to score individual risks. Sometimes these formulas seemed better suited for a rocket launch than calculating a single risk in an audit plan. As I often coach internal auditors, simplified formulas can be just as effective as complicated ones. Professional judgment will invariably be a factor no matter how complex the process." Alaba concluded by quoting from the book 'The Speed of Risk' by Richard F. Chambers, CEO of the IIA Inc.
The National Risk and Capability Assessment (NRCA) is a suite of assessment products that measures risk and capability across the nation in a standardized and coordinated process. When analyzed together, these products will better measure national risks, capabilities, and gaps. The results will be reported in future National Preparedness Reports.
The Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) is a three-step risk assessment process that helps communities understand their risks and what they need to do to address those risks by answering the following questions:
Building a culture of preparedness requires the nation to understand what risks to prepare for and how to prepare for them. The National Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (National THIRA) assesses the impacts of the most catastrophic threats and hazards to the Nation and establishes capability targets to manage them.
Increasing Resilience Using THIRA/SPR and Mitigation Planning (español) describes the similarities and differences between mitigation planning and the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process. It offers an optional approach to streamline state, territory, and tribal submissions of the mitigation plan and the THIRA/SPR. The document intends to help recognize opportunities to better understand threats and hazards, assess risks, build and sustain capabilities, reduce vulnerability, identify ways to increase resilience, and avoid duplication of effort.
Risk is inherent in project management and so is the need to create a risk management plan to control it. That methodology is called risk management, which is as important as planning to make sure a project comes in on time, within budget and of quality.
The fundamental risk management tool is the risk register. Basically, what a risk register does is identify and describe the risk. It then will provide space to explain the potential impact on the project and what the planned response is for dealing with the risk if it occurs. Furthermore, the risk register allows a project manager to prioritize the risk, assign an owner responsible for resolving it and gives a place to add notes as needed.
The risk register is a strategic tool to control risk in a project. It works to gather the data on what risks the team expects and then the way to respond proactively if they do show up in the project. It has already mapped out a path forward to keep the project from falling behind schedule or going over budget. Pick up a free risk register template here.
The root cause is another way to say the essence of something. Therefore, root cause analysis is a systematic process used to identify the fundamental risks that are embedded in the project. This is a tool that says good management is not only responsive but preventative. Get started with our free root cause analysis template.
Often root cause analysis is used after a problem has already come up. It seeks to address causes rather than symptoms. But it can be applied to assessing risk by going through the goals of any root cause analysis, which asks the following questions:
Begin with strengths and determine which aspects of the project are secure and well-positioned. Next, list the weaknesses or things that could be improved or are missing from the project. This is where the likelihood of negative risk will raise its head, while positive risk comes from the identification of strengths. Opportunities are another way of referring to positive risks and threats are negative risks.
While this tool was developed for IT projects, it can be expanded to speak to any project. What an IT risk assessment template offers is a numbered listing of the risks, along with the control environment, control activities and any additional pertinent information.
One of the most unique aspects of the risk assessment template is that the spreadsheet has a built-in calculator that figures out the likelihood of a risk in fact occurring and then multiples that against the impact it would have on the project or the organization. This way, a project manager knows the potential harm of the risk and so can prioritize their response to it if or when the risk happens.
For each risk listed, the risk data quality assessment requires that the project manager determine the extent of the understanding of the risk, collect what data is available, what the quality and reliability are of that data and its integrity. It is only by examining these parameters of the risk can an accurate assessment be reached.
Whichever of the above tools or techniques you use, they are exponentially helped when using ProjectManager. Having the risk assessment and tracking tool in your larger project management software keeps everything under one roof and accessible to the whole project team. With our software you can upload your spreadsheet of risks and turn it into a project, which can be assigned and tracked.
With ProjectManager, you can create automations to alert key people on your team when risks escalate or deescalate. Set simple, yet powerful rules with our system, triggering notifications if costs, timelines or other project statuses fall off schedule.
Risk assessment is a function within occupational safety and health (OSH) risk management that focuses on identifying potential hazards. The goal is to identify hazards, then analyze and evaluate the risks they create.
While your organization must comply with regulations and reduce its injury rate, those metrics force a rear-view mirror perspective. Applying risk management principles can help you proactively reduce risk, advance safety and drive a return on investment from safety programs.
Many core competencies of risk are defined and described in standards such as ANSI/ASSP Z10 and ANSI/ASSP/ISO 45001, which address OSH safety management systems. Additional details are outlined in ANSI/ASSP ISO 31000, Risk Management, and ANSI/ASSP Z590.3, Prevention Through Design.
Data gathering is the foundation for risk management and allows safety professionals and others to develop an understanding of what hazards and risks exist within a facility and how they affect worker safety.
Risk treatment is an iterative process in which safety professionals and other stakeholders formulate options to reduce risks, assess the effectiveness of possible controls and plan for implementation.
