Risk Management

for Regulated Industries

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Meeting Synopsis

The environment into which we were born and conduct our lives abound with risks. We struggle to minimize our exposure to them and insure ourselves to mitigate the negative effects if a hazard were to impact us. In order to plan for the production of safe products, we are required to reduce or eliminate risks to reasonable levels. Properly conducted risk analysis and risk management ensure that the manufacturer has done everything possible to manufacture products that are safe and meet quality requirements. In this meeting you will be exposed to methods for planning and executing risk analysis and risk management for product design, procurement and manufacturing. Regardless of the regulated industry in which work, this seminar will present you with information to identify and mitigate risks.
