Questão 46

Questão
Describe the reduction of risk.
Responda
  • The aim of risk reduction is to reduce the effects of a risk. Risk reduction concentrates on reducing losses to the lowest possible level. However, risk reduction acknowledges that we cannot totally eliminate risk, but may be able to restrict the damage caused by the risk.
  • Risk reduction is the process of reducing the frequency of risk. Reduction of risk starts at Government level. For example, legislation regulates building standards and the workplace environment. In practice, we introduce physical protection and good housekeeping to reduce the occurrence of risk.
  • The reduction of risk takes place because all risks cannot be avoided or eliminated and the effect of minimisation cannot be guaranteed. For example, even if we install the best fire prevention measures we still cannot guarantee that a fire will not occur and then spread uncontrollably. Therefore, the risk can be transferred to third parties by either transferring the rights to the assets at risk, or by transferring the risk to an insurer by paying a premium. Note that when we refer to the reduction of risk, we are referring to the effect of the risk and not the risk itself.
