This course gives an overview of Risk Management following the format of the Australian Standard in Risk Management (AS4360).

Tools and techniques applicable to each step of the risk management process are discussed, using examples applicable to the class. The same risk management process is applied to manage a wide range of business issues including health and safety, the environment, finance and project management. This course is therefore relevant as part of a wide variety of programs, and students from any program are accepted.

Students select examples for exercises to suit the industry and role in which they work (or intend to work). At the end of the course, students should be able to use risk management tools applicable to their specific interest and have an awareness of tools used in other industries and applications.
