Risk Management and Governance

Business faces a multitude of operational, financial and reputational risks. Health and safety has historically been seen as a discrete compliance issue that sits apart from the rest of the business.

I believe that embedding health and safety into mainstream business processes not only creates business efficiencies, but also helps to create the right context at a governance level for thinking about assurance and risk management issues.

I undertake risk landscaping workshops to help develop a complete picture of the critical risks your business faces then can help you understood the risk better using techniques like BowTie analysis. I can also help you refine your health and safety risk tolerances that are appropriate for your organisation.

Using references such as ISO 31000 and the 3 Lines of Defence model, I ensure contemporary thinking and practice is applied to this important area.
