How Does Risk Management Really Work? Are My Residual Risks Tolerable?
1 Identified hazard...
3 ... Implement a solution
2 ... Risk Assessment
4 ... Check Residual Risks

How Do I Get A Risk Register …? Begin With A Risk Shortlist
Controlling Risks of Large Tunnels – Alfred Moergeli (www.moergeli.com), European Tunneling Seminar No. 8, 09/25/2012 14
1. Definition of your System’s Limits (“Context”)
How Does Risk Management Really Help You? Higher Productivity & Safety with Lower Costs
2. Register of all your relevant hazards 3. System Safety by a Safety System
4. Optimization of your processes 5. Higher productivity & safety, lower costs 6. Comprehensible communication of your Residual Risks 7. Transparent documentation 8. Win legal compliance, your liability remains limited 9. Rest well (again) at the end of the day!

Is Your Risk Mitigation Complete? Use a Safety System to Achieve System Safety
Use a Safety System (STOP) 1 Substitution System / Strategy 2 Technology 3 Organizational / Personal Measures (Administrative Controls) To end up with System Safety => US Military Standard 882 D, 02/10/2000, Appendix A, A 4.3.3, i. requires: You must not use behavior oriented measures only
if hazards can cause an irrecoverable outcome!
