These can be events that last one hour, one day, or several days. Nevertheless, I always have to sit back and recognize all the “worst case scenarios” that could potential occur that can have serious repercussions to the organization. With this, I then seek out our legal department and have them develop a contract to make sure that all our bases are covered and the company is safe as well as the people involved.
The discovering of the risk is exactly the second phase of steps discussed by Larson & Gray (2011), risk assessment. This process is reviewing the severity of the risk identified in the first phase. Again, in my experience we work in a way that we try to take the avenue with the least risk to all parties.
