Description
This book is about managing risks in organizations, and it is aimed at people who work in those organizations.

The book is not specifically targeted at banks or building societies, but it could be helpful to those in those industries.
This is a practical book aimed at those whose daily task it is to think about and manage or regulate the risks of hazardous technologies. The book is not targeted at any one domain, but attempts to identify general tools and principles that are applicable to all organizations facing dangers of one sort or another. This could include banks and building societies just as much as nuclear power plants, oil exploration and production, chemical process plants, and air, sea and rail transport. The emphasis is placed upon the principles and practicalities of defences against accidents, and how to meet the challenges and minimize risk.
