Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ISO 31000:2018 standard defines risk as the effect of uncertainty on objectives. In contrast, risk management is presented by the same standard, consisting of coordinated activities to direct and control an organization regarding risk. The efficient management of risks requires knowledge from several specializations and the collaboration of specialists from several fields. This Special Issue aims to improve the understanding of researchers and other specialists concerned with risk management and facilitate the sharing of ideas and good practice examples.
In this context, this Special Issue seeks papers presenting state-of-the-art research, perspectives, innovative and sustainable models or approaches, system improvements, performance measurement, empirical studies and applied case studies or surveys. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Integrated management systems (quality–environment–occupational health and safety, and others);
- Mutual influences of different components of integrated management systems and the impact on global projects’ or companies’ safety;
- Assessment and management of different types of risk (occupational health and safety, psychological, public health, food-related);
- New and emerging risks, and practical solutions to eliminate or mitigate them;
- Examples of innovative and sustainable solutions for better risk management.
The Guest Editors will select high-quality research for peer reviews. Reviewers will be selected among active researchers in the field of risk management whose works are present in international databases.
