Every event comes with a variety of risk issues that could potentially impact normal operations and cause an interruption and/or a financial loss, of both an insurable and non-insurable nature.
To assist event owners, risk analysis will help evaluate the effectiveness of risk management controls for any event.
Risk analysis will look at risk management under the following key areas: Security, information technology, environment, finance and management, contracts, site services, loss control (health and safety, fire medical) and emergency response planning.
Risk analysis will examine the current risk management controls in place and evaluates them using a categorised risk rating.
The risk rating will be based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing controls that are currently in place, such as policies, procedures, transfer mechanisms, or physical measures that are designed to reduce the magnitude of the risk’s impact and/ or the likelihood of it occurring.
Risk ratings are derived from a benchmark of the reviews of risk controls used by other events and venues.
