Introduction
If you cant manage risk, you cant control it. And if you
cant control it you cant manage it. That means youre
just gambling and hoping to get lucky.
(Hooten [2000])
Definition
The art of risk management is to identify risks
specific to an organisation and to respond to them in
an appropriate way.
Risk management is a formal process that enables
the identification, assessment, planning and
management of risks.

Type of Uncertainties
Basically There are two types of uncertainties;
Uncertainty arising from a situation of a pure
chance; is known as aleatory uncertainty
Uncertainty arising from a problem situation where
the resolution will depend upon the exercise of
judgement; is known as epistemic uncertainty.

Hazards
People often confuse the concepts of hazard and risk since they
are used interchangeably as if they have the same meaning.
This is untrue, however, but to add to the confusion different
industries often define the concepts differently.
A common definition is:
A hazard is a condition that can cause injury, or death,
damage to or loss of equipment or property, or
environmental harm.
A hazard can be the result of a system or component failure but
this is not always the case; a hazard can exist without anything
failing.
