Overview
Other ebooks in this series have discussed the development and implementation of a risk management program. They have shown that the topic is varied and covers a wide variety of topics ranging from highly technical issues, such as vapor dispersion and fault tree analysis, to management systems and human behavior. Hence the persons charged with creating and running such a program need a wide range of aptitudes and skills. This ebook discusses some of the attributes of the ideal risk management processional, whether he or she be a direct employee, contract worker or a consultant.
There is no formal process risk management discipline, analogous to chemical engineering or business studies, nor is there is no single educational, work or professional background that is shared by risk management professionals, largely because they often start working in this area toward the latter half of their careers, having had many years of diverse experience working in operations, design and engineering in a wide range of industries.
