Introduction

The resource sector involves geological, mining, occupational safety and health, environmental and process risks in addition to metal price risk etc which can impact on the project. A risk assessment must be carried out for all development  projects as a matter of course even at the study stage. This approach is critical at an early stage to identify the key  risks.

Risk assessment involves estimating the likeliness & consequence of various risks involved in any resource project. Once appropriate risk assessment has been carried out, risk management methods can be implemented to minimise or even eliminate risks.

METS has developed the Risk Assessment & Decision Making Course, which focuses on the process of risk assessment, determination of quantitative or qualitative value of risk and how to develop mitigation strategies to minimise risk.

Course Benefits

This course provides a wealth of experience and case studies for the attendee. Personnel attending this course will become familiar with  risk assessment, the methods employed, decision making and how to manage risk etc.
Participants are provided with comprehensive course notes on CD covering the Risk Assessment Course. This will serve as a valuable resource for later reference. The course will treat the subjects in sufficient detail to provide a very good understanding of risk assessment.
