Q1. What is risk management?
Risk Management is a practice with processes, methods, and tools for managing risks in an organisation. It provides a disciplined environment for proactive decision making to
assess continuously what could go wrong (risks);
determine which risks are important to deal with;
implement strategies to deal with those risks
Q2. What does success look like?
An effective Integrated Risk Management Plan should:
identify existing and potential risks to the community within the authority area;
evaluate the effectiveness of current preventative, protective, and response arrangements;
identify opportunities for improvement and determine policies and standards for prevention and intervention;
determine resource requirements to meet these policies and standards;
include arrangements for implementation, monitoring, audit and review
The primary objective is to make the service more responsive to locally identified needs and enable better delivery of community safety.
Q3. What can risk management do for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service?
There will be a cultural shift from reactive to proactive decision making that avoids problems before they arise. Anticipating risk trends will become a part of everyday business, and the management of risks will be an integral part of strategic planning.
Q4. What are the consequences of not doing risk management?
WYFS will not have insight into how the service could be improved, consequently the wrong allocation of resources could be made. Decisions will be made without complete information or adequate knowledge of future consequences, the overall probability of reducing risk to life will be lower.
