  2. Recap • In order for a risk to exist • there must be a hazard • there must also be more than one outcome possible from the situation being considered • Four components of Risk analysis are linked in a dynamic & iterative manner

  4. Risk Management - Definitions • .. Is the process for controlling risks, weighing alternatives, selecting appropriate action, taking into account risk assessment, values, engineering, economics, legal and political issues. (HNV, Kinshasa) • .. is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate eventsor to maximize the realization of opportunities (wikipedia) • risk management utilises risk assessment results plus the risk managers judgement to balance potential benefits against assessed risks • reach decisions on acceptablerisk and formulate policy on that basis. • Cost-benefit and/or risk-benefit analyses may be included in the decision making process

  5. Risk Management : options • ACAT: Avoid, Control, Accept, or Transfer • SARA: Share Avoid Reduce Accept • Risk Reduction • Risk Mitigation

  6. EcoHealth considerations in Risk Management (1) • Transdisciplinarity: ‘inbuilt’ Risk Analysis cant be done by vets only; multiple disciplines working together throughout various processes including risk management • Systems Thinking: • Systems thinking helps apply some order to the complex reality of health in the context of social–ecological systems (Charron) • Interactions: ecological, social-cultural, economic, and governance • Consideration of scale • Participation: also fairly implicit - important to ensure adequate engagement with all stakeholders (eg community level)

  7. EcoHeath considerations in Risk Management (2) • Gender and Social Equity: important consideration (occupational; ethnic minorities) • Sustainability: important consideration for long-term disease control – adapting short-term measures (eg rabies Bali) • Knowledge to Action: also implicit – the ‘real-time’ dynamic nature of risk analysis links knowledge & action
