The first step in planning is to appropriately involve all key
participants.
Click on each figure in the picture below to learn about the participants
who might be involved in planning a risk assessment.
Often the first step in planning is to determine whether
a risk assessment is the best way to address identified problems.
Risk managers and assessors together consider how valuable a risk
assessment might be (e.g., whether it can be finished in time).
They also explore:
- What is known about the degree of risk.
- What management options are available to mitigate or prevent
the risk.
- Whether a risk assessment is the best way to explore and address
environmental concerns. There may be management alternatives
that eliminate the potential risk, or it may be best to investigate
the risk through a simple tiered approach (discussed later in
this module)
