Control the risks. This is the most important. Risk can be controlled in a number of ways, but the first objective should be to eliminate the risk entirely. If this is not possible, exposure to risk should be reduced as much as is ‘reasonably practicable’. It’s common to have to implement a number of controls to manage a risk effectively. It’s also important to note that there may be occasions when it will not always be possible to implement a selected risk control due to other factors.
