Efficient risk management
With the introduction of risk management (e.g. ISO 31000) in the company, the general framework and areas of application are defined by the management. The risk management process plays the central role here, as it comprises the practical steps for identification, assessment and control. An important and complex subtask is the determination or identification of risks with an impact on FM operations. The scope and level of detail determine the effort required for the subsequent sequences of risk assessments. Theoretical considerations of internal and external hazards (scenarios), causes and frequencies lead to risk assessment in the form of risk matrices and risk registers, which are linked to catalogs of measures and schedules. The following questions are usually answered:
- What are the threats?
- What can happen?
- How often can it happen?
- Has a risk assessment been carried out using a risk matrix?
- What measures are defined to reduce the risks?
- Has a risk assessment been carried out using a risk matrix?
- What measures are defined to reduce the risks?
On the basis of this status, the further steps of risk management and assessment up to final reporting can be designed, which is often common practice in companies. However, further important steps are required to ensure systematic and efficient risk management. If you would like to know more about this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
