It is not possible to remove risk, but it can be reduced. Risk mitigation options should include robust engineering design to reduce uncertainties and hence risk. Risk minimization should be a governing feature or tenet of LRM.
The Practitioner only needs to provide risk treatment requirements for the following situation:
- Cases of very high risk.
- Cases having unacceptable risk.
- Cases where the owner/client agrees to implement risk treatment.
- All cases where risk can be reduced by reasonable risk treatment methods.
- This is not part of the Practitioners mandate/responsibility.
