Enterprise risk management (ERM) in business includes the methods and processes used by organizations to manage risks and seize opportunities related to the achievement of their objectives.
Example of risk assessment: A NASA model showing areas at high risk from impact for the International Space Station. Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks, [1] followed by the minimization, monitoring, and control of the impact or probability of those risks occurring. [2]
ISO 31000 is a set of international standards for risk management.It was developed in November 2009 by International Organization for Standardization. [1] The goal of these standards is to provide a consistent vocabulary and methodology for assessing and managing risk, resolving the historic ambiguities and differences in the ways risk are described.
Good project risk management depends on supporting organizational factors, having clear roles and responsibilities, and technical analysis. Chronologically, project risk management may begin in recognizing a threat, or by examining an opportunity. For example, these may be competitor developments
Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).
Firefighters are exposed to risks of fire and building collapse during their work.. In simple terms, risk is the possibility of something bad happening. [1] Risk involves uncertainty about the effects/implications of an activity with respect to something that humans value (such as health, well-being, wealth, property or the environment), often focusing on negative, undesirable consequences.

Relative risk is commonly used to present the results of randomized controlled trials. [5] This can be problematic if the relative risk is presented without the absolute measures, such as absolute risk, or risk difference. [6]
A risk score is a metric used in statistics, biostatistics, econometrics and related disciplines to stratify a population for targeted screening. It assigns scores to individuals based on risk factors; a higher score reflects higher risk.
