A "Risk-centric" Approach--The Future of the Safety Profession
"The information and tools contained in "Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risks" should get into the hands and minds of every practicing Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) Professional. The biggest risk to an organization is not taking a risk-based approach to protecting people, property, and the environment. Organizational confidence in assessing operational risks will come when adopting and building upon the principles and learnings that come from these authors body of work. Defining what "Safe" looks like must become the future of our profession." Dave Walline, CSP - Committee Chair, ASSE Risk Assessment Institute 2013-2015
Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risk provides the fundamentals on risk assessment, with practical applications, for undergraduate and graduate students and safety, health, and environmental professionals who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment capabilities.
This book fills a void for those who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment knowledge. No other textbook has been written as a primer for students and safety professionals that covers the fundamentals of risk assessment and emphasizes a practical approach in the application of the techniques. The book also addresses seven of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria for safety programs.
Over time, risk assessments have been given more prominence as an element in an operational risk management system. This text will meet the requirements of professors at university level who emphasize the need for their students to acquire knowledge and capability regarding risk assessment. It will also serve as a primer for safety professionals who need a practical guide on various risk assessment techniques. Risk assessment methods including task analysis, job risk assessment, preliminary hazard analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, what-if analysis, and bow-tie analysis, as well as specific applications including design safety reviews, ergonomic risks, food safety, organizational risk assessment, and project risk, are covered in a step-by-step approach. This book also includes numerous interactive exercises, links, videos, and downloadable risk assessment tools.
