Recognising the hazards and managing the risks associated with your business involves having a working knowledge of:

The 'triple' bottom line
What are the social, economic and environmental impacts of your business? What measures do you need to put in place to address these issues?

How to take a systematic approach
Having identified the measures needed to remediate the impacts of your business, how are you going to organise yourself so that you take a systematic approach to implementing these measures?

Implementing HSE Management systems
A common approach to recognising the hazards and managing the risks associated with your business is to implemet a HSE Management system.

HSE Management systems tend to be either:

• Audit/compliance based (for example, DNV | National Safety Council of Australia 5 Star OHS Management System | IRCA Rating System )
• Behaviour/management based (for example, Zero Incident Process).
