Risk Assessments

Submit Abstract Register Now

Risk assessment is the regulation of quantitative or qualitative assessment of risk associated to a well-defined situation and hazard. An acceptable risk is a risk that is tolerated generally because the cost or difficulty of applying an effective counter measure for the related vulnerability goes beyond the expectation of loss. Health risk assessment consists of variations, such as risk as the type and severity of response, with or without a probabilistic context. The agriculture, aerospace, nuclear, rail, military and oil industries have a long history of dealing with risk assessment.
