Winn Dixie: Logistical risk assessments and their level of uncertainty I am the manager at Winn Dixie Logistics. My organization is responsible for the management of six distribution warehouses located in Baldwin, Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami, Florida; Hammond, Louisiana; and Montgomery, Alabama. Our transportation experts oversee our supply chain and ensure that products are delivered safely and on time to more than 480 stores throughout the Southeast. Timely and high-quality delivery is essential for the company to function. Food products are often very tricky to ship and the company must meet both legal and company-specific standards. For every potential order, a wide variety of elements can go wrong, spanning from spoilage to damage to delays, all of which make the final product unsuitable, resulting in potential losses for the company and disappointed customers. To improve the chances of successful delivery, Winn Dixie has instituted the Case Integrity Standard for evaluating all products, which means that all products on retail shelves must be flawless, all units within the case must be flawless, and packaging must be without flaws and close to its original condition (Winn Dixie Routing Guide, 2012, Winn Dixie:13). Damage to shipments is one of the first risks that must be contended with: there must be a certain allowance for products that will not meet the Case Integrity Standard when making orders. Common problems include past due dates, crushing, leaking,

It is a legal requirement that risk assessments are carried out in the work place. This enables hazards or potential hazards to be identified thus preventing them or reducing the risk. In turn this protects employees, customers and visitors safe from harm. Risk assessments are part of a service’s agreed way of working; therefore, it is an employer’s responsibility to ensure staff are aware of risk assessments and that they follow them. There are many different uses of a risk assessment.
After considering my above feelings and thoughts I realised that by being aware of the time I spent on the risk assessment, I was able to keep it as necessary and as concise as I had hoped for. Previously I have ran out of time completing the full assessment, meaning that the ending of the assessment is typically missed off. According to Westbrook et al (2007) five or ten minutes is required at the end of treatment to conclude and set up a homework task. Although at the time I was feeling anxious and nervous; attempting to keep track of the time allowed me to achieve the assessment in the time I had allocated myself.
Within in my own setting one of my roles is to promote individuals’ independence but in the same time we have to protect them from harm and danger. Everybody takes risks in everyday living therefore people living in care homes should be able to that, too. When we look after our residents, we make sure that they are aware of any risks involved, e.g. before they go out. Risk assessment is completed. Risk assessment covers many areas like showering themselves, going out on their own. We do them with our residents to identify what they want, what risks it involves, and how they can be avoided or minimized.
Assessing an adult for sexual recidivism can be a different type of work than evaluating a juvenile, and requires a different set of risk assessment tools. That being said, adult risk assessment tools initially, and continue to inform juvenile risk assessment tools, therefore, a foundational introduction to adult risk assessment is beneficial to better understand juvenile risk assessment (Christiansen & Vincent, 2013; Collie, Ward, & Vess, 2008; Prescott, 2004). Recognizing this need for some foundational understanding of risk assessment, The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) has set forth some guidelines for adult risk assessment.

Risk identification takes place when an organization identify their assets by organizing, categorizing, and prioritizing the data into small groups that are alike (Whitman & Mattord, 2014). Risk identification starts with detecting information assets. An information asset is a set of data that is structured, well defined, and managed as a single component. The information assets in my personal life include my home computer (desktop), laptop, tablet, application software, cell phone, and myself.

This research project discusses a common threat that is consistently present in the world that we live in today on the front of cybersecurity as well as cyberspace. Among all of the various cyber-attacks that exist in our world today, Ransomware has taken a front seat when discussing the different types of threats that create the potential to harm us users on a day to day basis. This form of threat is something that has been plaguing users for years and has caused financial manipulation for hospitals, businesses, and private citizens as well. This research project will discuss the threats that have been present in the past 5-10 years and will provide an in depth study of what occurred and what could have been done in order to prevent this type of attack from happening. The topic of risk assessment and vulnerability will be analyzed as well.

The framework of ecological risk assessment consists of a problem statement (formulation), risk analysis, risk characterization, and risk management. A precursor to the problem statement involves a historical account and fundamentals of living organisms, ecological systems, and any substances, whether biological or synthetic, that may be introduced to environmental components. Once evaluated, a problem statement can be defined and a plan created to analyze and characterize the risk. Reviewing data on sources, stressors, effects, and ecosystem and receptor characteristics helps to develop endpoints and
