A risk management system requires: 

  • Policy statement approved by the board of directors;
  • Risk management manual;
  • Risk management tool.

EP has the expertise to provide consultancy and implementation in the following areas: 

  • Facilitating risk workshops;

  • Establishing the initial risks register;

  • Drafting the corporate risk policy;

  • Preparing the corporate risk manual;

  • Customising the risk tool;

  • Training personnel in the principles of risk management;

  • Organising a risk awareness campaign.

Risk management consists of the following main steps:

  • Identify risk;

  • Assess the risk (using a three stage approach);

  • Assign mitigation actions;

  • Monitor mitigation actions;

  • Re-assess risks regularly.

A key aspect of the risk management system is the fostering of a culture of risk awareness throughout the organisation. This is very important since it can be very easy to hold a risk workshop only to have everyone return to their day-to-day jobs without further attention to the risk management system. So it is essential that actions raised in the workshop are carried out in a timely manner and followed through to completion. Also, everyone in the organisation must be risk aware and any risks identified outside the workshop environment must be recorded and processed without waiting for another risk workshop to be held.

As well as being very efficient at identifying risks, workshops encourage involvement and ownership in the entire risk management process. By following a structured process, each risk is considered objectively so that it can then be ranked and prioritised. The advantages of risk workshops include:

  • Identification, assessment, prioritisation and embedment of Risk Management;

  • Meeting best practice;

  • Seeking to identify opportunities as well as risks;

  • Encouraging management discussion and facilitating clarity on risks;

  • Facilitating 100% participation;

  • Seeking to create awareness, education, compliance and embedding of RM;

  • Allocating ownership of potential hazards and ensuring an ongoing Risk Management process.
