HCROWD LESSON 2 Flashcards
The risk identification could concern any of the following:
- Natural hazards
- Civil or political hazards
- Technological hazards
- Biological hazards
an extreme event that occurs naturally and causes harm to humans or to things
that we care about, though usually, the focus is on humans.
Natural Hazards
when an extreme event caused
harm in significant amounts and overwhelms the capability of people to cope and
respond.
natural disaster
the hazards being confronted by investors, corporations, and governments
brought about by the political decisions
Political Hazard
are hazards caused by circumstances in the society that could vastly
affect the society as a whole.
Civil hazards
are regulations or policies that would restrict international trade like
customs, tariffs, quotas, and other
Trade Barriers
people must pay taxes so that the
government would have something for giving quality services to the people.
Taxes are the bread and butter of the government
the ability to manage plus the political will are essentials to the proper
administration of any agencies for effective and efficient service to the people.
Administration
riots,
terrorism, coup d’état, insurrection, declaration of martial law, placing the country
under the state of national emergency could entirely give a negative impact to the
business operation in a country for long periods of time
The political instability of a country could vastly affect the tourism of a country
Technology may be considered as beneficial to the tourism industry in most of its
facet, the other side of this could be treated as a hazard because it is an effect of
the globalization of production, an increase of industrialization, and a certain level
of risk of accidents connected with production, processes, transportation, and
waste management
Technological Hazard
It pertains to biological substances that stance a
danger to the health of the living organism, chiefly humans.
- It may also include samples of microorganism, virus or toxin that can affect the
health of human
Biological Hazards
Give Examples of technological hazards.
Industrial pollution
* Nuclear Radiation
* Toxic Wastes
* Dam Failures
* Transport Accidents
* Factory Explosions
* Fires
* Chemical Spills
A good risk manager does not give an abrupt decision to solve a problem. TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
There are two essential risk concepts that a student must understand
inherent risk and the residual risk
refers to the exposure arising from a specific risk before an
action is to be made by a risk manager
The inherent risk
the exposure arising from a specific risk after risk manager has
made any, and in case such action has proven useful.
The residual risk
The following issues must be addressed well in the risk identification.
- The cause of the event;
- Areas of impact;
- Enablers
- Events;
- Potential consequences
contains an analysis of the potential risk together
with the possible impact (high and low) and strategies to mitigate the derailment of
the project if the problems would arise.
The risk management plan
designed to lessen the possibility of risk impact before
the risk becomes realized.
The preventive strategy
on the other hand, is designed to address the issue of risk
at the time of the happening of the event.
Contingency strategy
Risk managers may take any of the following either as prevention or
contingency to address the issue of risks concerning business?
Risk Avoidance
* Risk Reduction
* Risk Transfer
* Risk Retention
