Avoiding Risk
Example would be not climbing or working on access network when lightning is in locality
Deciding not to travel if weather conditions are too adverse
ReduceReducing is one
method of dealing with risks.
Risk reduction or "optimisation" involves reducing the severity
of the loss or the likelihood of the loss
from occurring.
Reducing The RiskThere are various ways in which risks can be reduced.
The best way to minimise risks is to carry out comprehensive research of the subject, for example economic, consumer and product research.
Also – Risks can be reduced by careful screening of
customers and by providing a proper training and development programme
Example of Risk ReductionOutsourcing could be an example of risk reduction if the outsourcer can demonstrate higher capability at managing or reducing risks.
Foe example, a company may outsource a large company issue such as its software development needs to another company, while handling the business management itself. This way, the company can concentrate more on business development without having to worry as much about the manufacturing managing the development team.
Therefore reducing the risk of mistakes being made.
TRANSFER THE RISKShifting the responsibility or burden for disaster loss to another party through legislation, contract, insurance or other means
INSURANCE IS THE MAIN WAY OF TRANSFERING RISK
CONTRACTING IS ANOTHER WAY OF TRANSFERRING RISK
RISK TRANSFER INSURANCE• Many companies will have different types of
insurance to protect from risk
• Traditional insurance products covering natural hazards are written on what is often termed an “indemnity” basis, where the policyholder insures a defined property, economic activity or other entity, such as a building or a business, against specific hazards such as earthquake, wind or flood. In the event of the insured item being lost or damaged as a result of a covered hazard, the policyholder is compensated for their financial loss. Therefore, insurers pay claims based on actual losses.

• Marine Insurance• Aviation Insurance• Livestock Insurance
Keeping Risk The last approach is to accept the risk, which means the company
understands the level of risk and the potential cost of damage, and decides to just live with it without implementing any countermeasures. Many companies will accept risk when the cost/benefit ratio indicates that the cost of the countermeasure outweighs the potential loss value.
Here we compare the differing approaches of two car manufacturers: “Toyota has announced the recall of vehicles in the US, Europe and
China over concerns about accelerator pedals getting stuck on floor mats.
The firm has announced plans to recall 1.1 million more cars in the US a day after saying it was suspending sales of eight popular US models.” (BBC news)
Peugeot 406 “Using the remote to lock the car does not always lock the
boot, leaving items inside vulnerable to theft (per BBC Watchdog 10-9-2002). Speedometer failure of 2.1TD is common” (honestjohn.co.uk)
Both companies have looked at the defect, evaluated the risk and weighed
up losses due to compensation/legal action VS cost of recall and amendment. Peugeot has decided that accepting the risk allows them to protect their profits.
