This study is focused on such risks and how they could be mitigated without employing complex mathematical risk management approaches, which can be difficult to implement at the shop-floor level. In fact, the literature review here conducted revealed a significant gap in the research on risk management at this level. The central stage of the study was a field survey, which was focused on the potentials of total quality management (TQM) to address low-level activity risks. The findings confirm an interrelation between TQM and risk management, and they also reveal that trust and integrity are the most effective elements of TQM that can help to mitigate risks related to the blue-collar workers’ activity.","PeriodicalId":35420,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66701310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the magnitude of the involved volumes, industrial waste has lately become a threat to all the components of the environment. In Romania, 90-95% of the total quantity of the produced industrial waste are stored, but only 24% of them have an environmental clearance certificate. The action of the climatic factors increases the risk of the occurrence of some landslides, which leads to the deterioration of the ecosystems and the risk of pollution, the loss of stability, the destruction of some historical objectives. Thus, the risk analyses represent the support for the decision-making process in taking solid measures, meant to lead to the limitation and diminution of the danger of slipping and losing the stability of these deposits. However, the implementation of the measures is based on a systemic model, supported by the concept of risk.

Results showed that the needs of tsunami-affected MSMEs were ignored and that there were many governance-related problems in the recovery process in both districts. Further, the rate of business recovery is around 62%. Due to the large scale of the disaster, its wide geographical spreads, and involvement of large number of agents, institutions and parties involved in the distribution of benefits and in the recovery process, it is hard assign blame to any single entity regarding accountability of government or other institutions for their conduct and performance in the recovery process.","PeriodicalId":35420,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41936627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to provide an original analysis of the biological risks, beyond the common categorisations, taking into account, by using binary approaches, the biological risks diversity. This research work has non-exhaustively identified ten couples, namely microbiology/macrobiology, natural/provoked risks, naturally pathogen biological agents/genetically modified organisms, indigenous/invasive states, health/environment, primary target/collateral consequences, synthetic/natural biology, exobiology/endobiology, proven/potential risks and assessment/management.

This article aims to study what capabilities are embedded in information security risk management. A theoretical framework is proposed, namely rethinking capability as the alignment between intent and knowing. The framework is situated around four general risk management practices. A systematic literature review utilising the framework was conducted, resulting in the identification of eight identified capabilities. These capabilities were grouped into respective practices: integrating various perspectives and values to reach a risk perception aligned with the intended outcome (identify); adapting to varying perspectives of risks and prioritising them in accordance with the intended outcome (prioritise); security controls to enable resources, and integrate/reconfigure beliefs held by various stakeholders (implement); and sustaining the integrated resources and competences held by stakeholders to continue the alignment with the intended outcome (monitor).","PeriodicalId":35420,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46769770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
