RISK-BASED DECISION MAKING IN THE FIELD

Risk based decision making is a concept that can be applied in many different ways, through many different means, with many different outcomes. The overcharging commonality of these risk based decision making concepts is the purpose - to improve an element of safety - the focus of this article. Presented is a compendium of risk activities that are taking place in the field. Each of the four Marine Safety Offices (MSOs) presented share their experiences of how they have successfully applied risk based decision making principles. Even though each case is particular to that MSO, it is presented in the hopes that others will be able to find the information useful and be able to modify it for their own needs.
