Don't blame the iceberg

At a workshop on risk management at one of the Association's Management Study Days in London in November 1999, a number of good ideas emerged. One was the need for the Association to review the current Risk Assessment Guide (RAG) published by NATN. That review is presently underway. It was also suggested that we might have a page in the Journal for risk management issues. As a result, a series of articles has been commissioned, with this opening article on the principles of risk management using the Titanic experience as a model.
