12. PRAGMATIC APPROACH
Natural events, accidents, man made disasters, technical brake downs, rogue employees, external threats are the potential perils
- watch them
The personal working closest to its operations are the best equipped to detect the risk reducing solutions
– Involve them
To identify potential crisis – put yourself in the role of internal saboteur and ask what could i do to damage this company
- mind boggling
Some risks are much easier and cheaper to neutralize than others
- identify and adopt
Quantify the risk in terms of potential risks than probability of occurrence
– apply them
Take a holistic approach in addressing the given situation
- give a thought

13. ESSENCE OF COMPLIANCE
Do not comply the law just because you fear for
Fines,
Imprisonment,
Suspension of license to operate,
Bad publicity,
Strained employee/employer relations
But comply the law to prevent
Human sufferings
Disasters
Degradation of quality of life
Environmental damage
