Definition of Motorsports Collection of sports which primarily involved the use of motorized vehicles. Automobile or motorcycle racing. Also known as auto racing, motor racing or car racing - a sport involving racing automobile. DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit ©2010 DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit

Definition of Hazard Is a condition, event or circumstances that could lead to or contribute to an unpleasant or undesired event. DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit ©2010 DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit

Definition of Risk Quantifiable likelihood of loss or less than expected returns. Is an expression of the impact of an undesired event, in terms of event severity and event likelihood. The expectation that a threat may succeed and the potential damage that can occur. DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit ©2010 DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit

RISK = likelihood X severity Definition RISK = likelihood X severity Likelihood (probability of occurrence) An event likely to occur within specific period or in specified circumstances. Severity (of outcome) Is outcome from an event ,such as severity of injury/health of people or damage to property or environment. DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit ©2010 DR MOHD ZIN BIN BIDIN CMO, Sepang International Circuit

Definition of Risk Management The process of analyzing exposure to risk and determining how to best handle such exposure. The process of assessing risk and acting in such a manner or prescribing policies and procedures, so as to minimize loss associated with such risk.

Selection of Control Control is the elimination or inactivation of a hazard such that the hazard does not pose any risk to anyone who enter into an area or work on equipment in the course of scheduled work. Selection of control : Evaluating and selecting short / long term control Implementing short term measures until permanent control in place. Implementing long term control.
