Risk and crisis management in facilities: emerging paradigms in assessing critical incidents

Abstract

Provides an analysis of why facility managers need to have risk management in the business world today. Details how the risk manager′s duties differ from those of the crisis manager – while the risk manager assesses potential incidents, the crisis manager actually manages a crisis environment. Discusses stockholder business and legal environments, then analyses the chemical waste management and crisis response requirements of different organizations.
