The possibility of something bad happening

Risk

(Exposure to) the possibility of loss, injury, or other adverse or unwelcome circumstances; a chance or situation involving such a possibility

Risk

Is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard.

Risk

It involves uncertainty about the effects/implications of activity concerning something humans value, often focusing on negative, undesirable consequences.

Risk

The earliest use of the word “RISK” was as a synonym for the much older word hazard," meaning a potential source of harm.

“SOURCE OF HARM”

"Source of Harm" definition comes from ___ and was the main definition in the OED 1st (1914) and 2nd (1989) editions.

Blount’s “Glossographia”

Was the main definition in the OED 1st (1914) and 2nd (1989) editions.

“SOURCE OF HARM”

Modern equivalents refer to “unwanted events” or “something bad that might happen."

“SOURCE OF HARM”

"Chance of Harm" definition comes from _______ (1755)

Johnson’s “Dictionary of the English Language”

This has been widely paraphrased, including “possibility of loss” or “probability of unwanted events."

“CHANCE OF HARM”

This definition comes from ______ (1901). | Uncertainity about loss

Willett's “Economic Theory of Risk and Insurance”

This links “risk” to “uncertainty," which is a broader term than chance or probability.

“UNCERTAINTY ABOUT LOSS”

This definition comes from _____ (1921). | Measurable Uncertainity

Knight's “Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit"

It allows "risk” to be used equally for positive and negative outcomes. In Insurance, risk involves situations with unknown outcomes but known probability distributions.

“MEASURABLE UNCERTAINTY”

Equivalence between risk and variance of return was first identified in ____ (1952). In finance, volatility of return is often equated to risk. | VOLATILITY OF RETURN

Markovitz's "Portfolio Selection"

The expected value of the loss was used by ___ (1939) to define risk in what is now known as decision theory. | Statistically expected loss

Wald

The expected value of the loss was used by Wald (1939) to define risk in what is now known as decision theory.

“STATISTICALLY EXPECTED LOSS”

The probability of an event multiplied by its magnitude was proposed as a definition of risk for the planning of Delta Works in 1953, a flood protection program in the Netherlands. It was adopted by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (1975) and remains widely used.

“STATISTICALLY EXPECTED LOSS”

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The “triplet” definition of risk as “scenarios, probabilities, and consequences” was proposed by Kaplan & Garrick (1981).

The “triplet” definition of risk as “scenarios, probabilities, and consequences” was proposed by _____ & ______ (1981).

Kaplan & Garrick

Many definitions refer to the likelihood /probability of events/ effects/ losses of different severity/ consequence, e.g., ISO Guide 73 Note 4.

“LIKELIHOOD AND SEVERITY OF EVENTS”

This was proposed by Kaplan & Garrick (1981). This definition is preferred in Bayesian analysis, which sees risk as the combination of events and uncertainties about them.

"CONSEQUENCES AND ASSOCIATED UNCERTAINTY”

This was proposed by ___ & ____ (1981). This definition is preferred in Bayesian analysis, which sees risk as the combination of events and uncertainties about them. | "CONSEQUENCES AND ASSOCIATED UNCERTAINTY”
