Risk communication and professional engineers

A paper by the Joint Institution Group on Safety Risk.

Health and safety risk assessment and mitigation are integral to the work of a professional engineer or technician. This paper by the Joint Institution Group on Safety Risk (formally the Inter Institutional Group on Health and Safety) identifies the key issues for professional engineers in health and safety risk communication.

It summarises recent developments in the subject by professional and government bodies. It identifies where further action might be appropriate and makes recommendations on what more might be done to promote appropriate action to improve risk communication.
