This document discusses occupational health and safety laws as they relate to business travel. It makes three key points:
1) While businesses have never been officially exempted from workplace health and safety standards for business travel, it is now recognized that these standards should apply to traveling employees as well. If a business can demonstrate that it applies the same occupational health and safety systems to travel as it does to conventional workspaces, it fulfills its duty of care obligations.
2) Recent legal developments have clarified that employers are obligated to ensure employee health and safety not just in physical workplaces but also in remote and mobile work environments like business travel. Travel and mobile workplaces must now be included in a business's risk management
This model was developped by me in the same period of, a ndindependant from, Reason's Swiss Cheese Model Although it isa far more dynamic model, closer to reality it had never the success the SCM had. I am no professor and simply a SIBEENG (SIlly BElgian ENGineer).
This document discusses why safety is important in the workplace. It explains that safety is everyone's responsibility, including both employees and employers. Accidents can result in injuries to workers as well as high financial costs. Employers are legally responsible for providing a safe work environment and training, while employees must follow safety policies and procedures. Establishing clear safety roles and accountability can help create a strong safety culture.
Principles of risk assessment for maintaining and improving health and safety...DjCurrie
Risk assessments examine work activities that could cause harm so that sufficient safety precautions are taken. They involve identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing control measures. Common hazards in construction include falls, falling or moving objects, electricity, and manual handling. Accident reporting and preventing future injuries are important, as falls, slips, handling, and being struck are leading causes of major injuries. Fire, electrical, and waste safety precautions must also be followed.
This document provides a checklist and guidelines for employers to follow to ensure they meet their duty of care for employee health, safety, and security when traveling. It recommends:
1) Developing a risk management system and strategy specific to your business needs that identifies risks at every stage of travel and educates/trains employees on procedures.
2) Checking an existing travel safety system against criteria like having specific legislation and standards referenced, resources allocated, and conducting audits.
3) Ensuring all plans, assessments, and resources are location-specific, apply to individual travelers, and identify hazards for each trip in order to properly manage risks.

The document outlines the steps required to follow the ISO 31000:2009 risk management standard for business travel. These include communication and consultation, establishing the context, risk assessment including identification, analysis and evaluation, risk treatment, and monitoring and review. It notes that the standard must be applied fully and failure to do so could increase liability if a risk was present but not adequately addressed. It also discusses how most travel risk management fails due to a lack of proper context regarding the individual traveler, specific journey, and location being visited.

HOW TO MANAGE WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS - Code of PracticeFlint Wilkes
The document provides guidance on managing work health and safety risks through a four step process:
1. Identify hazards - find things that could cause harm.
2. Assess risks - understand the nature and likelihood of harm from hazards.
3. Control risks - implement effective controls to eliminate or minimize risks.
4. Review controls - ensure controls are working as planned.
The document provides an agenda for the PRIMA meeting on March 29, 2012 in Stevens Point, WI. The schedule includes registration from 9:00-9:30 AM with pastries, a welcome from 9:30-9:50 AM by the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services, a presentation from 9:50-11:00 AM by the Section Chief of the department on public employee safety regulations, a break from 11:00-11:15 AM, a presentation from 11:15-12:15 PM by a State Patrol investigator on compliance reviews, lunch from 12:15-1:00 PM sponsored by Aegis Corporation, and a final presentation from 1:00-
Throughout, and in the wake of a global pandemic, many countries have re-evaluated what exactly constitutes critical infrastructure and the importance of this infrastructure or systems of state/national significance. This reflection has also reconsidered exactly what critical infrastructure, facilities or systems of national significance mean to the country, community, and national security. Australia is no exception. However, not only has Australia informally re-evaluated the nature and status of its critical infrastructure but it has also broadened both the definition and legislation mandating greater security and risk management.
The context and impact of Australia’s reflexive security risk management actions and legislation have yet to be considered in full, especially as it relates to public/private security, and more importantly enterprise security risk management. That is, aside from the considerable change in critical infrastructure legislation, what does it mean for the information, knowledge and practice of security management and risk management within an organisational, infrastructure context? More specifically, when and where security and risk are conjoined as siloed functions? As a result, this discussion and information paper seeks to introduce the topic of critical infrastructure and systems of national significance as a contemporary challenge or mature consideration for security and/or risk management practices.
While focused on Australia primarily, the critical infrastructure discourse has security risk management implications for most countries and jurisdictions. This paper explores global opinions, prior research and explicit public security guidance from national agencies and authorities about security risk management and critical infrastructure. It is therefore hoped, this initial summary and supporting observations spawns and supports a new age of security and risk sciences within the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure, systems of national significance and enterprise security risk management.
Hazard Management Requirements in the Health and Safety at Work ActHans Buwalda
The document discusses the new hazard management requirements in New Zealand's Health and Safety at Work Act, which came into effect in April 2016. Key changes include a higher standard for hazard management - organisations must reduce risks to health and safety as far as is "reasonably practicable", rather than taking "all practicable steps". This means implementing a risk-based approach using Safe Work Australia's guidelines of identifying hazards, assessing risks, controlling risks through an hierarchy of methods, and reviewing controls. The new legislation aims to improve safety by requiring more robust risk assessments and prioritizing engineering controls over administrative controls for critical hazards.
This document discusses the importance and purpose of conducting risk assessments. It notes that risk assessments should be done to identify risks, minimize risk to teams, comply with insurance requirements, and prove that risks were considered in the event of legal issues. The document emphasizes that everyone involved in an activity or event, including workers, location managers, and production crews, are responsible for health and safety. It outlines the key stages of conducting a risk assessment, including identifying the activity, risks, risk levels, existing measures, additional safety improvements, and documentation and communication of the assessment.
Extended Enterprise : Managing risk in complex 21st century organisations IRM...IRM India Affiliate
This document provides an overview of the concept of an "extended enterprise" and the challenges of managing risk across complex organizational networks. It defines an extended enterprise as multiple organizations that come together to achieve outcomes no single entity can achieve alone. Modern businesses rely on extended networks of suppliers, partners and other relationships. However, traditional risk management often focuses only on risks within organizations and fails to consider interdependencies across the extended enterprise. As a result, the risk management of any one entity can only be as effective as the weakest link. The chapter argues that risk professionals need new tools and approaches to understand risk across complex extended enterprises in today's dynamic business environment.
Guiding Principles for Cyber Risk GovernanceDavid X Martin
The document provides guiding principles for directors to oversee cybersecurity risks. It discusses 5 key principles:
1) View cybersecurity as an important enterprise risk and identify the organization's most valuable assets vulnerable to attack.
2) Develop specific plans to avoid, accept, or mitigate identified cyber risks.
3) Consider cybersecurity as a strategic issue, not just technical.
4) Understand exposure from third-party vendors.
5) Develop a culture that values cybersecurity.
The document aims to help boards prioritize protecting valuable assets, understand the full scope of cyber risks, and foster long-term cybersecurity practices.
This document provides guidance on hazard identification as part of a safety management system. It defines key terms like hazard, safety event, and undesirable event. It describes methods for identifying hazards, including data-driven and qualitative approaches. Specific tools are summarized, like brainstorming, HAZOP studies, checklists, and FMEA. The document stresses that hazard identification should be periodically reviewed since completeness cannot be ensured. It provides a template for documenting identified hazards in a hazard log. Annexes include hazard examples and information sources that can aid in identification.
This document provides an introduction to managing health and safety. It discusses how people perceive risk differently based on their experiences and expertise. It outlines a case study where a worker fell to his death due to a lack of training and protection on an unsafe worksite. The document states that those responsible for health and safety cannot rely solely on common sense and must implement proper health and safety management practices. It indicates this guide will cover the main principles of occupational health and safety management, including risk assessment, responsibilities, and typical documentation methods. Specialist assessments may still be required for certain hazards.
The document provides information on safety management systems. It discusses the benefits of safety in business such as good employee morale, lower insurance costs, and improved productivity.

QUESTION 1
Due to the collapse of a building during its construction arising from negligence my previous company ascended to NORM (naturally occurring reactive management) from SWAMP (safety without any management process). Before the catastrophe the construction company had no safety policies at all apart from wearing required safety gear by employees. The working conditions were not safe. Quite a number of employees had been involved in accidents. The company thus had begun to suffer losses. As usual the blame was on the employees for their lack of insight and safety protection during working hours. The complaints were everywhere. The employees thought that the management had squanderedall the money instead of thinking of better ways to keep them safe. There was even an attempt to boycott work until the working conditions were improved. Instead of a positive response from the management what the employees got were threats to end their contracts if they ever thought of boycotting work. Left with no option the employees returned back to work reluctantly. On top of the growing bill of insurance costs the company was also handling a number of unending law suits filed by former employees seeking compensation after being involved in accidents. The management was feeling the pain. It was then the major accident happened.
After the collapse of a whole building the company had to act fast. Nearly every employee was suing the company. The company was forced to start abiding to safety regulations. Safety managers were employed to ensure that regulations weren’t broken. Every employee was being virtually supervised. Their every move had to be watched. There were numerous programs and training sessions to inform the employees of the best safety regulations. At this point the insurance costs reduced but most of the costs were now being redirected into training and payment of the safety managers. Thus the focus shifted from the hazardous working environment to employees who were breaking safety rules. These employees were considered to be the sole cause of all the lack of safety in the company. Thus disciplinary action became a common norm.
For the construction companies to reach the EXCELLENCE level a lot of change has to occur. First the focus should shift from discipline and adherence to safety rules to what the roots of the accidents are. Safety should not be an abstract topic only discussed in meetings and displayed by huge banners in every corner of the business premises. It should be a serious thing practiced even by the management. When this happens it will be easier to have safety as a culture and not as a rule. Safety would have been integrated to become one of the success factors of the company. When any accidents happen the management would immediately deal with it and try ...

In recent years, construction accident rates have declined
result of substantial effort by many parties. Increased pres

the contractors’ awareness. In turn, contractors increased
training and enforcement. These efforts have reduced the
and illness rate from 12.2 in 1993 to 7.9 in 2001. However,
rate of fatalities has shown little improvement—since 1997,
number of fatalities per year is consistently over 1,100~Bureau o

This document provides an overview of safety management practices and concepts. It discusses the evolution of safety management from focusing on technology, to humans, to organizations and systems. It also covers accident causation models, priority hazards, legislative frameworks like the WHS Act and regulations, key terms, health and safety duties of different parties, and offences and penalties. Overall, the document presents essential information on understanding and applying safety management principles.
Uncertainty and change will likely dominate the post-pandemic world of travel. While security and
terrorism have been constant concerns for tourists, broader issues of personal safety, risk and crime will
understandably infuse travel decision making in the wake of COVID-19. This chapter explores the
multitude of definitions and expressions that make direct comparisons of security between places
exceptionally difficult. In this chapter, context, hyper-specific location, travel security and crime
prevention techniques are introduced. The chapter also explores the relationships and overlaps of
international security, safety, terrorism, crime and risk. Complete with a series of systematic literature
reviews specific to each sub-topic, large data sets, expert analysis and evidence-based decision making,
this chapter offers practical tips for travellers at all levels of experience. The curated, practical advice will
empower tourists to contribute to their own personal security by better understanding the complexities
summed up with simple, practical guidance no matter where they venture. Overall, the consolidated
security and terrorism work within this chapter presents an updated base for tourists and the travel
industry to relaunch travel in the wake of one of the world’s most significant travel disruptions. Tourists
should be better informed and equipped for new travel challenges and adventures.
This information and discussion presentation offers the first step in unpacking and understanding the change, requirements and demands of security and risk management practices and processes within the critical infrastructure and systems of national significance. Moreover, this presentation explores the technical and professional nuances of security management and risk management and how it is inadequately defined or communicated in legislation and practice. Posing the greatest question for governments, operators, and security/risk practitioners. Security for who, when, how, to what standard and in what context? In addition to the reality that if ‘risk’ management was inadequate and unable to self-regulate or evolve to face the evolving and changing threats, what changed? In short, changing laws, rules and expectations fails to raise the bar of security and risk management practices without a commensurate increase in the underlying information, knowledge, education and experience of security and risk representatives. This deficit will not be corrected nor rectified overnight, with the subsequent ‘gap’ likely evident for years after the new threat and legislation. For now, the current individual and collective risk profile is likely that of fragility and vulnerability, not resilience, with the greatest liability that of humans, not infrastructure.

At this point the insurance costs reduced but most of the costs were now being redirected into training and payment of the safety managers. Thus the focus shifted from the hazardous working environment to employees who were breaking safety rules. These employees were considered to be the sole cause of all the lack of safety in the company. Thus disciplinary action became a common norm.
For the construction companies to reach the EXCELLENCE level a lot of change has to occur. First the focus should shift from discipline and adherence to safety rules to what the roots of the accidents are. Safety should not be an abstract topic only discussed in meetings and displayed by huge banners in every corner of the business premises. It should be a serious thing practiced even by the management. When this happens it will be easier to have safety as a culture and not as a rule. Safety would have been integrated to become one of the success factors of the company. When any accidents happen the management would immediately deal with it and try ...

In recent years, construction accident rates have declined

the contractors’ awareness. In turn, contractors increased
training and enforcement. These efforts have reduced the
and illness rate from 12.2 in 1993 to 7.9 in 2001. However,
rate of fatalities has shown little improvement—since 1997,

Similar to Travel risk management solutions: Duty of Care by Tony Ridley (20)
Uncertainty and change will likely dominate the post-pandemic world of travel. While security and
terrorism have been constant concerns for tourists, broader issues of personal safety, risk and crime will
understandably infuse travel decision making in the wake of COVID-19. This chapter explores the
multitude of definitions and expressions that make direct comparisons of security between places
exceptionally difficult. In this chapter, context, hyper-specific location, travel security and crime
prevention techniques are introduced. The chapter also explores the relationships and overlaps of
international security, safety, terrorism, crime and risk. Complete with a series of systematic literature
reviews specific to each sub-topic, large data sets, expert analysis and evidence-based decision making,
this chapter offers practical tips for travellers at all levels of experience. The curated, practical advice will
empower tourists to contribute to their own personal security by better understanding the complexities
summed up with simple, practical guidance no matter where they venture. Overall, the consolidated
security and terrorism work within this chapter presents an updated base for tourists and the travel
industry to relaunch travel in the wake of one of the world’s most significant travel disruptions. Tourists
should be better informed and equipped for new travel challenges and adventures.
This information and discussion presentation offers the first step in unpacking and understanding the change, requirements and demands of security and risk management practices and processes within the critical infrastructure and systems of national significance. Moreover, this presentation explores the technical and professional nuances of security management and risk management and how it is inadequately defined or communicated in legislation and practice. Posing the greatest question for governments, operators, and security/risk practitioners. Security for who, when, how, to what standard and in what context? In addition to the reality that if ‘risk’ management was inadequate and unable to self-regulate or evolve to face the evolving and changing threats, what changed? In short, changing laws, rules and expectations fails to raise the bar of security and risk management practices without a commensurate increase in the underlying information, knowledge, education and experience of security and risk representatives. This deficit will not be corrected nor rectified overnight, with the subsequent ‘gap’ likely evident for years after the new threat and legislation. For now, the current individual and collective risk profile is likely that of fragility and vulnerability, not resilience, with the greatest liability that of humans, not infrastructure.
Travel risk ratings: The risk is not the advance forecast, it is the reckless and negligent recalibration once events become past, past becomes data and data become evidence. It is the proof of specific, contextual numbers that makes drunk driving, untested medicines and random guesses SAFER than travel risk ratings because before the event and data was uncertainty, after the accumulation of numbers, there is a certainty.
The document discusses research on the relationship between media, terrorism, and risk perception. It provides summaries of several academic sources that cover topics such as:
1. How social media provides opportunities for terrorists but algorithms alone do not shape communication.
2. Exposure to terrorism news increases perceived risk but not self-risk, and understanding how risk perceptions are shaped is important.
3. Definitions of terrorism were not seen to change after attacks, only reaffirming prior conceptions from media cases.

The document discusses a 20-year analysis conducted by a professor that found experts to be routinely wrong in their predictions. The analysis examined 284 highly educated experts and over 82,000 estimates of the future. It also found that random volunteers from around the US outperformed the $50 billion per year US Intelligence community in forecasting geopolitical events, even when intelligence analysts had access to classified information. The document advocates for an "evidence-based forecasting" approach similar to evidence-based medicine, moving away from decision making based on experience and authority toward quantification and analysis.
This document provides a summary of George Orwell's 1946 essay "Politics and the English Language" and lists six essential rules for clear communication. The rules advise using short words over long, cutting unnecessary words, using active voice, and avoiding foreign phrases, scientific jargon, and metaphors that have lost their original meaning. An example is given of metaphors like "ring the changes" and "hotbed" that Orwell argued had become meaningless due to overuse.

Tony Ridley is an international security and risk management professional with references listed. The document discusses evidence that skilled poachers were not favored recruits to become gamekeepers, as the skills required for poaching differ from those needed for gamekeeping. While some knowledge of poaching techniques could help with policing aspects of gamekeeping, managing game resources requires a different skill set. The document also notes that while the phrase "poacher-turned-gamekeeper" is often used to describe bad actors being recruited into security, there is little evidence that this was common practice historically.
