...Running Head: RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN Risk Assessment Plan Therese Kress MGT. 401 Hazardous Materials Management Instructor Stephen Griffith October 6th, 2014 RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN Risk Assessment Plan Holding the position of ‘Risk Manager” can be a daunting task. Their role is to advise their company of any potential risks that might exist within the organization, its employees, customers, and even its reputation. A risk managers job tasks depend on the industry in which they work in, and the level at which they are working at. Their major job duties are to identify and assess hazards, put safety plans in place, and determine how to avoid, reduce, or eliminate the risks altogether. That is why in the 1970’s the “Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) established three permanent federal agencies to help with accessing such issues. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to set and enforce standards, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to conduct research on workplace hazards, and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) to referee any workplace challenges” (Matthews, P.2011). These three departments were established to set guidelines by which companies both large and small, could follow to minimize the potential risks within the workplace. At my place of employment, Generator Services, we do have a Risk Assessment Plan that observes a safe...

...of our own actions as well as how we interact with the charities, business sponsors and the college. Furthermore, the team will have to take into consideration legal factors such as risk assessments and taxation. To begin with it could be suggested that meeting legal requirements is very important because if you are not abiding by them, the team and thus the college could be breaking the law. The main area of legal concern is to do with risk assessments. This is because as students will be going out to a remote area for a long walk in aid of charity, the college must ensure the safety of students. Because of this, they will have to walk the route and see if it is safe and then prepare a risk assessment report to elaborate on whether the walk is safe or too dangerous and also if there are any ways in which the college could assist in safeguarding the students, for example by providing mobile phones for communication and a first aid kit in case of injuries. The whole process of undertaking a risk assessment can be lengthy and also costly but is important requirement as if someone is hurt on the walk and they decide to take legal action, the college could be held liable unless they can definitively show that the risk assessment findings made everyone believe that the route was safe. This shows how risk assessing is so important when a business undertakes anything new –...

This study is based on the AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 standard framework, shown in Figure 1 below. After starting with an overview of the project, the report establishes the context, which sets the groundwork on what risks to focus on. A communication and consultation plan of the risk management study is then set up. Subsequent sections include risk identification using techniques such as brainstorming and checklists, risk analysis using methods such as Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), and risk evaluation using qualitative and quantitative techniques such as the ALARP chart. The last sections of this report consist of the risk treatment plan, which explores possible options if the identified risks come to realisation followed by the monitoring and review process to maintain the effectiveness of those treatments. The main highlights of this report are that, while there are many options for treating risks, the appropriate method will depend on factors such as number of treatments...

...RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of the Risk Management Plan is to establish an approach to monitoring, evaluating, and managing risks throughout the life of the project. A risk is an uncertain event or condition that has a negative or positive effect on the project’s objectives. The risk management plan will identify potential risk, assess individual risk and its impact on performance, cost, and schedule of the overall project and develop an action plan that handles individual risk. RISK PLAN OBJECTIVES The scope of this risk assessment assessed the system’s use of resources and controls (implemented or planned) to eliminate and/or manage vulnerabilities exploitable by threats internal and external to the Project. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could result in: • Unauthorized disclosure of data • Unauthorized modification to the system, its data, or both • Denial of service, access to data, or both to authorized users This Risk Assessment Report evaluates the confidentiality (protection from unauthorized disclosure of system and data information), integrity (protection from improper modification of information), and availability (loss of system access) of the system. Recommended security safeguards will allow management to make decisions about security-related initiatives. PROJECT RISKS This risk assessment methodology and approach was conducted using the guidelines in NIST SP 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems...

I would also make sure to identify all the pros and cons and the potential problems that I may face trying to sell these product in this country. I would visit the country myself to get a more hands on feel for the country and also determine some of these potential problems that I may face. I would look at creating a broadly diversified global portfolio to determine where the investments should be allocated among developed, emerging and perhaps frontier markets. I would want to make sure that the investments are spread among several other areas in Iran to maximize diversification and minimize risk. What data would you need; how would you use them? I would conduct a correlation coefficient and use this data to help limit my risk. I would conduct a forecast to determine the credit risk posed by Iran, including a regularly reviewed country risk rating. I would look at the currency, sovereign debt and banking sector...

...I decided to take the cervical cancer health risk assessment. I chose this particular one because, when I was pregnant with my son and was having regular pap smear . I was told by my doctor that I had been exposed to one of the main causes of cervical cancer which is HPV(Human Papilloma Virus). I will get to what HPV is in a moment. Cervical cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the cervix. It is a disease in which the cells of the cervix become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, which can cause tumors to grow. HPV is a cause of at least seventy percent of all cervical cancers. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease and is one of the most common. It is so common that every man and women at one point in their lives will get it. There is some evidence that suggest that another sexually transmitted virus, the genital herpes virus also may be involved in cervical cancer. More than six million women in the United States have persistent Human Papilloma Virus infections. HPV does not have a current cure. Another fact, most women do not have any sign or symptoms of cervical cancer until it is invasive. When the cells grow uncontrollably and into the deeper layers of the cervix it is then invasive. Several risk factors for cervical cancer include family history, Immunosuppression which is HIV and having a chlamydia infection can also increase your risk. Sexual behaviour can also play a part and put women at risk for not only HVP infections which lead to cervical...

...Below is my quantitative data findings on the threats and vulnerabilities our qualitative research founded in our look into your company. First we will provide some recent attacks that have happened to other companies. Second we will let you know how likely the attack is to occur at your company. Third we will provide you the real number data to support the idea if you should spend money or not on improving your protection from this type of attack. Spoofing: In 2006 banks were targeted by attackers with a spoofing attack. An article written by McMillan (2006) stated that the attackers were able to hack into the banks' ISP servers and redirect traffic from the legitimate banks' websites to a bogus server. The attackers were able to affect about 20 customers by being able to get them to enter in PINs and other personal information (para. 2). There is an article by Zetter (2012) in which a mathematician noticed that several technology companies and other types of companies used a weak DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) that he was able to break and then use to pretend to be high up personnel in that company. In our report we noted you had in-house servers and the firewalls seem properly configured for outside attacks. In 2014, AOL had its mail service attacked, and the attackers used the email address book to send spam to everyone in the address book as the owner of the email. Spoofing is still a viable attack and even with properly configured network and validation methods human...
