For effective implementation, take a look at these Hazards best practices:
The first step in hazard management is its identification. In the words of management thought leader Peter Drucker, "you can't manage what you don't measure", and in this case, you can't manage what you haven't identified. This process involves comprehensively analyzing functional areas, operational processes, and strategic initiatives within the organization to pinpoint potential risks or disruptions.

Once potential hazards are identified, the next step is its prioritization. It's essential to rank these hazards based on their impact and the probability of occurrence. A common tool used in Management Consulting circles for this exercise is the Risk Matrix, which provides a graphical representation of the hazard's severity against its likelihood.
Creating a robust Hazard Management Framework is the next logical step. This involves developing a set of procedures, checks, and controls that help in mitigating the identified hazards. The framework can also include a multidisciplinary team responsible for maintaining the system and responding to any potential threats. While the specific boldface is a must, i.e., Risk Management, Performance Management, Strategy Development, Change Management, Business Transformation, etc., the overall emphasis should be on a holistic approach towards Hazard Management.

Top Management must ensure that the entire organization is aware of the hazards and the measures put in place to mitigate them. Regular Training and Communication sessions should be conducted to enhance the awareness and preparedness of the employees. This helps create a Risk-Aware Culture within the organization.
According to a report by McKinsey & Company, approximately 61% of executives believe that risk management has a significant influence on their business success. This statistic underpins the importance of continuous monitoring and reviewing of hazard management procedures. Shifts in the internal or external environment, like changing business priorities or regulatory changes, need to be reflected in the hazard management practices. Therefore, periodic review and updating processes should be an integral part of your Hazard Management Framework.
