Risk Management Operations and Technology in Infrastructure Projects

Topic:Risk Management Operations and Technology in Infrastructure Projects Operational Risk Management can be define as a continual cyclic procedure which comprises of risk decision making, risk assessment and the implementation of risk controls that results to mitigation, acceptance or even avoidance of the risk. Risk management operation is simply the oversight of operational risk, which include the risk of loss as a result failed or inadequate internal processes and systems, external events or human factors. The levels of Risk management operations in infrastructural projects. In Depth The in-depth risk management operation is normally used before a project can be implemented. This is when there is enough time to do your planning and prepare. Example of this, is the drafting instruction and requirements, training and acquiring personal protective equipment. Deliberate Deliberate risk management operation is used during a routine period via the enactment of a process or project. Examples include performance reviews, quality assurance, job training, safety checks and briefs. Time Critical Time critical risk management operation is applied during the execution of tasks and operational exercises. This is the efficient use of all resources available by crews, individuals and teams to effectively and safely carry out the mission or duty of using risk management concepts when resources and time are limited. Examples of the critical time management tools used comprises of change management and execution checklists. The Four basic principles of risk management operation in infrastructural projects 

Acceptance of no risk that is not necessary



Acceptance of risk when the benefits completely supersede the cost


Anticipating and the management of the risk through planning

Making the right decision at different right level

What Is Risk Management? “Risk Management is the process of identifying, analyzing and responding to risk factors throughout the life of a project and in the best interests of its objectives. Proper risk management implies control of possible future events and is proactive rather than reactive.” The best practice of the management of risk will help in the reduction of not only the magnitude of its impact but also the likelihood of an event occurring.

Risk Management Systems Risk Management Systems are designed to do more than just identify the risk. The system must also be able to quantify the risk and predict the impact of the risk on the project. The outcome is therefore a risk that is either acceptable or unacceptable. The acceptance or non-acceptance of a risk is usually dependent on the project manager’s tolerance level for risk. If risk management is set up as a continuous, disciplined process of problem identification and resolution, then the system will easily supplement other systems. This includes; organization, planning and budgeting, and cost control. Surprises will be diminished because emphasis will now be on proactive rather than reactive management.Risk Management is a continuous process
