Risk management
At Griffith, we undertake many activities that carry a certain level of risk either to the person or the environment. Risk management is a proactive, logical and systematic approach of managing the uncertainty relating to potential risk, rather than responding to injury, incident or damage. We manage these risks through the risk management process, and understand that while not all risks can be completely removed, these can be managed and mitigated or reduced to an acceptable level.
