Probability for Risk Management Donald G. Stewart, Matthew J. Hassett

This is the discussion blog for the MSc course "Fundamental Safety Engineering and Risk Management Concepts" lectured at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. Note that when I say above “basic approaches to Information Risk/Security Management” I'm using the word “management” in its strictest sense — the management of a Risk program, not management of security devices. There's a big difference there, and people often . Internal risk management is about disaster aversion. This story about the Association of British Insurers complaining about inadequate spending on flood defences raises three points showing just how difficult good risk management is: 1. As shown in the graph you previously posted, nuclear is the most safe energy. External risk management is strictly about the relative size of your bet. This course is a core module for the following Postgraduate Taught Programmes: 1. External risk management is about the probability of loss. One approach to prioritizing her company's IAM challenges is to apply basic risk management principles. The right framework means that if there is a difference of opinions about the probability of loss — Risk Management's conclusions are defensible. I'm under the weather today, but thought I'd point some things out real quick. Inadequate or nonexistent risk management policies raise the probability and magnitude of losses, impede global competitiveness, and exacerbate “knowledge leaks” as these organizations grow. Therefore, safety management should aim to lower the probability of fatal or unsafe accidents as much as possible.
