Risk assessment and management

Ensure that the organization s culture and risk management policy are aligned. 

Determine the risk management performance indicators which will align with performance 

Align risk management objectives with the objectives and strategies of the organization. Ensure legal and regulatory compliance. 

Assign accountabilities and responsibilities for risk management functions at appropriate levels within the organization. 

Ensure that the necessary resources are allocated to risk management.

Risk Assessment and Management Commission must report to Congress on the appropriate use and policy implications of risk assessment and risk management in various regulatory programs.

These challenges are critical to the profession of chemical engineering, the chemical industry, and our country. Risk assessment and management involve input from a multitude of different disciplines. The methodology is rapidly changing and extremely complex and reqrrires both technical input and input from professionals with expertise in legal, economic, judicial, medical, regrrlatory, and public perception issues. 

Policies and procedures for risk management decisions must be estabhshed and be clear and simple if the massive, but necessary, workload of risk assessment and management is not to cripple the chemical industiy s worldwide competitive position and consume inordinate resources through inefficiency.

The remaining parts of this chapter will provide detailed information about each of these six steps. However, specific strategies for risk assessment and management may need additional elements, depending on the nature of the hazard, the foods in which it may occur and other specific conditions. For example, some additives may also occur as natural constituents in the diet or may be chemically altered when they come into contact with food components. For such substances a unique approach may need to be developed. 

How this type of information influences the risk assessment and management processes is the subject of much of the last third of the book. 

Before looking to the future, it will be useful to look back at some issues related to risk assessment and management that have so far been ignored. The issues are not so much technical as they are social and political, and to ignore them completely could leave the misleading impression that all the scientific and policy questions we have discussed are interesting matters for scholarly debate, and not much else. We shall not make this mistake.

All those activities have specific purposes and may be conducted alone (for example, for priority-setting among public-health actions) or as parts of a multitier strategy. Links between risk-assessment and -management activities (why biomonitoring is conducted) and the properties of the biomarkers (what characteristics our biomonitoring tools need to have for us to be able to conduct these activities) will be presented below.
