What is risk analysis?
Risk analysis is the step-by-step process of identifying, measuring, and prioritizing uncertainties that could affect operations, helping you make informed decisions under uncertainty.
Three Core Questions
Risk analysis answers: what can go wrong, how likely is it, and what is the impact if it does. It moves decisions from gut feeling to evidence.
Key Steps
- Hazard identification — what could fail or wear down
- Probability estimation — how likely each scenario is
- Impact measurement — cost, downtime, safety consequences
- Risk prioritization — ranking by likelihood times impact
- Mitigation planning — reducing probability, impact, or both
