Risk Management

Hi All

I am a registered nurse (15 yrs experience) with a Post Graduate Certificate in Intensive Care Nursing and currently working in an Emergency Department. I am a third of the way through my Masters in Occupational, Environmental Health and Safety at Edith Cowan University in WA.

This semester I am studying Risk Management and would appreciate any advice with  useful resources or websites that I could visit, specific to the topic.

Kind Regards

Lucia Clarke

Lucia,

Of course there is the standard 4360?

A Google search will pull up a lot of stuff

A lot of the major university OHS policy web-sites tend to have a bit on risk management.

In Qld. there is a risk management code of practice under the state safety legislation, I would imagine there is similiar in W.A..

Risk assessment has assumed an importance greater that is valid in my view.

George Robotham

Thanks Rod, I have not got around to reading the International Standard yet as I am still receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress syndrome  from reading the A.S. and associated handbook.Silly me, I think safety publications should be succinct.

What are the main differences?

Regards,

George Robotham

Thank you George and Rod for taking the time to answer my question. I will definitely be using the ISO 3100 as well as Google searches. Much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Lucia

Hi Lucia

I am completing my Master of Health Science (majoring in risk management) at the QUT this year and have a lot of good documents on risk management. For your information in respect to getting a better handle on the new standard, Google - Transitioning to the new risk management standard - AS/NZS/ISO 31000:2009.

Regards

 Stuart

Also worth a read is HB 327:2010 Communicating and consulting about risk  

(from Standards Australia)

Lucia,

I am studying the same Masters program through ECU and I completed that unit last year.  I have just started back this week (think duckling on a pond) with the intention of finishing by the end of this year.  ISO 31000 was not out for my course work so I used 4360, 4804, 4801 and HB 205 throughout the course.

I don't have the hands on experience compared with most Safety professionals but if I can help at all I will.  I also work about 500 metres from Joondalup campus if you need anything.

please drop me an email

kind regards

Morning / Afternoon, I am keen for some advice. I am an operational Watch Commander in the NT Fire and Rescue Service so I have a reasonable understanding of Risk Assessment and Risk Management and I have some qualifications in this area. I also run a small Management Consultancy when I am off duty from the NTFRS. Given my background as a professional Fire Officer, just lately I have had a local Insurance Brokerage firm ask me to conduct Risk Profiling on a number of their clients. Essentially they want me to go on site, carry out a survey, write a report and submit it to them so that they know exactly who / what they are insuring - and what premium they need to charge. My question is this. Are there any basic, easy to use software packages that I can purchase that have risk assessment matrix's, hazard ID registers, templates, checklists etc and other tools that I can use both on-site when I do these surveys and also I can use in the report. I don't need anything too complicated, just a fairly basic yet comprehensive 'tool kit' for this new stream in my business. Appreciate your help. Nick.

Hi, not that long ago there was an advert to an IPhone Risk Management application. Can't remember where I saw this but it was this year some time. I don't have an IPhone so I don't know if it was any good or not. IFAP (WA) have a nomogram that is a consequence x exposure x probability equation. It is based on OHS Risk Assessment AS/NZS 4804:2001 http://www.ifap.asn.au/software/index.html hope this helps Craig Ralph
