Risk assessment is a planning process where possible outcomes are predicted based on past results.

An effective risk assessment requires knowledgable contributors who are familiar with the principles and practices that go together to make up the process.Risk management is a process where the controls identified in the risk assessment are applied when the process is carried out.

The international Council on Mining and Metals has published a good practice guide and an implementation guide on health and safety critical control management.

As a starting point for Bow Tie Analysis and other risk appraisal tools, I am developing a wiki with references to NSW, Queensland and New Zealand legislation and safety alerts for risks. There is a sample page at Minesafety 101 Wiki

The technique can be adapted for any industry or risk assessment process
