Tactical Response
Risk is a product of the likelihood of harmful consequences arising from particular
identified hazards or threats and the potential impact of these upon people, services
and the overall environment. It is a measure of the potential consequences of a
contingency against the likelihood of it occurring. The greater the potential
consequences and likelihood, the greater the risk.
A structured and auditable process of identifying hazards and threats, assessing
their likelihood and impacts, and then combining these to provide an overall
assessment of risk, as a basis for further decisions and action.
Matrix of impact and likelihood for an event, to ascertain the risk.
A systematic process of deciding which risks can be eliminated or reduced by
remedial action and which must be tolerated.
