Synopsis

This unit is designed to give you some very general information about risk and the evaluation of risk. In a very general sense risk assessment is about what we are afraid of and why we are or afraid of it. Risk assessment or evaluation often points the way to what we might do about the potential risk or danger to manage it.

The module consists of 17 slides and associated text to assist the lecturer. The background text material can be printed directly. The slides can be viewed directly, but are best printed from the .pdf file.
