Management

Occupational Health and Safety Management

---

Risk management may be defined as the reduction and control of the adverse effects of the risks to which an organization is exposed. Risks include all aspects of accidental losses that may lead to any wastage of the organization's, society’s and environmental assets. These assets cover personnel, materials, machinery, procedures, products, money, and natural resources: soil, water, energy, natural areas. Losses may result from the presence of potential harm to one or more elements of the system, either because of the interactions with other elements inside the system or with the environment outside the system. Risk is the measuring stick for this potential, which may be defined as the probability that harm will occur within a certain period. Management as a function comprises all processes and functions resulting from the division of labor in an organization such as planning, organizing, leading and controlling. In most organizations more or less formalized management systems serve to structure, develop, and direct business processes. Systems differ with respect to branches, nature of business, company size, and human factors such as culture and policy. As firms grow in size management systems gain complexity and become difficult to use, thus resulting in domain-specific systems such as management of health, safety, environmental resources, quality or personnel. Since Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) management have a number of over lapses and are actually practiced by the same people in an integrated manner, companies are now moving towards integrated HSE management systems as a subsystem of the business/operations management.
