Many Risk Management tools, processes and/or procedures mainly focus on WHAT has to be done, and HOW it shall be done. There is nothing wrong with this approach in most instances if you wish to maintain the status quo. However, should you really wish to improve the situation, additional attention needs to be placed on WHY it has to be done, and WHO is it going to affect.

Although Risk Management covers a wide variety of issues, to put a little context to the above statement we outline the following scenario.

Table 1

Total Number of Injuries

To further dissect the above figures the following Tables break out Back Injuries & Manual Handling Injuries from the same report:

Table 2

Back Injuries

Table 3

Manual Handling Injuries

During the period 1991 – 2001 the Internet became of age allowing us to share information around the planet, computers became commonplace, laws and standards are tougher and more detailed than they were in the past. With the amount of information freely available to the workplace, and with the amount of effort put in by Governments and Organisations around the world the above figures should be trending significantly better than shown above.

In summary: the existing Laws, Standards and Procedures (WHAT & HOW) do not appear to have motivated people to implement them as intended, as indicated by the above tables.  Our strategy is put more of the people element into the process (WHY & WHO). People make processes work, processes on their own have little impact.
