Raising awareness of risk

Article Abstract:

Good management encompasses both quality assurance and risk management which are related but significantly different. The Wren Insurance Association has produced 'The Risk Management Guidelines' which uses the quality assurance standard, BS 5750 as its starting point but takes a different perspective. Risk management, unlike quality assurance, is subjective, concerned with daily practice and driven by the need to avoid making neglegent errors. It is particularly important when negotiating contracts with clients and when the architect does not undertake the whole design.

Article Abstract:
