Select an activity with which you are closely associated or very familiar (eg., it may have something to do with your work or at leisure).

Your task is to prepare a document that will:

a) Describe the project or activity you have selected;

b) Conduct a preliminary risk assessment and highlight what particular risk issues are associated with this project or activity;

c) Develop a risk management strategy; and

d) Conduct another risk assessment factoring in your risk management strategy. Describe the outcome and what steps you would undertake (if any), now.

Your report should demonstrate a clear understanding of the processes involved and should be approximately 1,500 words in length (excluding references, tables and figures).

Question: Select a discipline that you are interested in from one of; occupational hygiene, environment or engineering.

Discuss the role of risk assessment in achieving better outcomes for a project related to your discipline (eg., workers at a factory and use of cleaning chemicals, management of a particular species or ecosystem, or community members concerned about pollution from a factory).

What processes or tools would need to be incorporated into the risk assessment to ensure that risk assessment results in better decision making - for all stakeholders?

Who are the stakeholders at risk or who may have an interest - in summary, who are they and what is their interest. Discuss how you would raise identified issues with the stakeholders to ascertain whether the risks were acceptable.

Detail a risk communication strategy to the identified stakeholders. Wherever possible, use actual "issues" to illustrate your answers. These may be related to international events, but would need to be used in a local context.
