Safety 2009 Proceedings

557 Operational Risk Management: From the Top Floor to the Shop Floor (Sponsored by the Risk Management / Insurance Practice Specialty)

Instructor: Francis P. Sehn, CSP, ARM, Hilb Rogal & Hobbs, Pittsburgh, PA

Description: The ultimate goal of any business is to maximize resources, enhance profits and continue operations in a safe manner. The important elements of this goal should include protecting people, property and the environment and the SH&E professional must be a leader in this critical aspect of the business. To be acknowledged as that leader, the safety professional needs to be able to assess hazards in relation to business risk. A tool for this action is the Operational Risk Management (ORM) process. In this session, you will learn the six-step ORM process used by decision makers and how it can be used to integrate safety and health into the business goals of any organization.
