1.0 INTRODUCTION

When the future is unknown, there is risk and uncertainty. Humans have struggled to cope with
risks and uncertainties, and to a certain extent have made progress in this area.
Risk management is considered crucial for the survival of the organization due to increasing
external threats such as stiff competition and the impact of global warning. The advent of
technology and development has brought about the emergence of new risks exposing us to
various losses.
This chapter deals with basic issues in risk management. The objectives of risk management,
that is, before and after loss will be explained step by step. This chapter concludes with a
discussion on methods of handling risks.
The hazardous place that I chose is a new road construction in front of my house. I chose this
place because it seems like many risks that would happen. Because of this, all the car garage
owned by the residents who living nearby that area have to destroyed due to a new road
construction.

2.0 RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

2.1 Step 1: Identifying Existing And Potential Risks

The first step in risk management process and is known to be the most important
process.It is designed to develop information on sources of risk, hazards, risk factors, perils and
exposure to loss.
As we can see in the picture, this situation would increase the possibility of a loss. Based
on our current situation which is Movement Control Order (MCO), so the progress of making a
new road has been postponed until end of MCO. This situation will increase the risks to the
people here.
The new road construction also cause losses to the residents because all the car garage
owned by the residents have to destroyed due to a new road construction.

2.1.1 Risk Identification Tools

Tools Descriptions

Exposure A second important aid in risk identification is called an exposure

checklist checklist. It is simply a listing of common exposures. For the example,
the potential risks such as a broken cement block and cement sand
was left on the road due to movement control orders (MCO).
Inspection This tool used to conduct the inspection into the risk at the hazardous
place. For example, make sure there are no kids playing around the
construction site to avoid bad something from happening.

because the cement sand
can make the car tires be
slipped to it, especially if it is
raining.

2.2 Step 2 : Evaluating Potential Risks

Once the risks have been identified, the risk manager must evaluate them in terms of
financial loss. This means measuring the severity and frequency (Oswald et al.2017).

 The construction site seems like many huge risks would happen. So, the construction site
have a high severity and high frequency. This is because the children would play around
that area if there has no action to take.

 It is getting worse when the children play around the new road construction without their
parents’ attention. It will increase the risks that would happen to the children if there has no
action to take.

 2.3 Step 3: Examining Alternative Risk Management Techniques
Once the risks have been identified and evaluated, the next step is to examine all possible
ways to handle them. The two main ways to classify risk management techniques are risk
control and risk financing (Oswald et al.2017).

2.3.1 Risk Control

 Focuses on minimizing the risk of loss to which the entity is exposed.
1) Risk Avoidance
- A risk is proactively avoided or abandoned after rational consideration (Oswald et
al.2017).
- I think the risk can be avoid from happening such as the risk of broken cement block.
The authorities should direct the workers who are managing this work to remove the
broken cement block that was left on the road since the Movement Control Order has
been announced. This is to avoid something happen to the people who live there.

2) Loss control
- Loss control designed to reduce the frequency, severity or unpredictability of losses
(Oswald et al.2017).
- The authorities should take an action on the delayed work since Movement Control
Order has been announced such as the cement sand that was left on the road. If no
action is taken, this will increase the risk to the people. The cement sand can cause
the people to slip and moreover if there is a heavy rain, the cement sand will get wet
and can cause an accident especially to car drivers.

 2.4 Step 4: Selecting And Implementing The Risk Management Programme
Once a decision has been made in the selection of a risk management method,
management must draw up and implement the best and most cost effective risk management
programme.
The selection of risk management programme may be based on two factors which is
financial criteria and non-financial criteria.

2.4.1 Selection of the Risk Management Technique

Based on table 1.0, I choose high frequency and high severity which means loss
prevention and loss reduction is possible. For the example, the risk of falling on the broken
cement block is high and it is can cause a serious injury to the people especially the part of the
head. The risk for accidents in the area that full of cement sand of the construction is high as
well. It can causes a serious accident and more worse, it will cause death.

 2.5 Step 5 : Evaluating, Reviewing And Controlling The Risk Management Programme
The risk management programme must be monitored and controlled systematically. It must
be periodically reviewed to ensure that the techniques employed are still suitable and that they
satisfy the current conditions (Oswald et al.2017).
In this step, the authorities should take an action to their workers and be more responsible.
Many risk that would happen if no action is taken. The workers should placing the construction
equipment in the right place. Most importantly, it is not exposed to the resident especially the
children who living there. The workers also should not to leave it easily on the road.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION
In another way, to avoid the risk of falling on the broken cement block, as parents they
should monitor their children from playing around that area. They are supposed to be more
careful about their children’s safety. If not, their children will get an injury if they are still playing
at the area of construction side. Secondly, to avoid the risk of accidents at the area that full of
cement sand was left on the road is the car drivers should be more careful. Most importantly, if
there is heavy rain, they must use another way instead of using that way to avoid accidents. We
cannot expect what will happen, so as the car drivers they should take a precaution to protect
themselves against possible danger.
