Risk Management Paper:
–    APA format with a title page, 1-2 pages of content, and a References page if necessary.
–    Using the 5 step process, assess the risk involved with a specific scenario related to ground transportation.
–    Describe the System – 1 Paragraph explaining the scope of your risk assessment (e.g. pedestrian safety on LU campus).
–    Identify Hazards – List (in paragraph form) at least 10 hazards. (E.g. Cars, scooters, ice on sidewalks, etc.)
–    Analyze Risk – Select at least 3 risks derived from some of the hazards and explain the reasonable severity and likelihood of that risk using the Risk Matrix in chapter 2 (e.g. the severity of being run over by a car is severe because this would likely cause severe, potentially life threatening injury. The likelihood of an individual being run over by a car is improbable, however, because it is unlikely to occur to most students).
–    Assess the Risk – determine whether the risk is already acceptable using existing mitigations/best practices (e.g. the risk of being run over by a car is mitigated by having a pedestrian breezeway physically separated from road traffic, and by using sidewalks and crosswalks throughout campus. This risk is low enough to be acceptable with existing mitigations).
–    Mitigate the Risk – propose at least one additional mitigation for one of the risks assessed in order to lower the severity and/or likelihood of the risk occurring. (E.G. requiring pedestrians to look both ways before using a crosswalk would mitigate the likelihood of a collision by increasing situational awareness).
