Facility Risk Management
Risk Management Facility Issue: Infant Abduction
Risk is defined as "anything that threatens the ability of [a] business to accomplish its mission." (Pakeys, 2010) The risk management plan is held to be "much broader than the emergency preparedness plan" and involves the management of risk, which offers a method of protecting against unforeseen hazards, and the routine risks faced by workers each day. (Pakeys, 2010) The express reason for a risk management plan in Facility Management is lower the likelihood that an accident or failure event occurs and to minimize the results in terms of consequences of accidents or failure events.
Developing and Implementing a Facility Risk Management Program
According to the Nurses Service Organization there are specific steps to taken in the facility risk management planning which includes: (1) stating the goals of the organization; (2) describing the program's scope, components and methods; (3) delegation of responsibility for implementation and enforcement; (4) demonstration of commitment by the hospital board; and (5) delivery of guarantees of confidentially and immunity from retaliation for those who report sensitive information. (Nurse Service Organization, 2006) There are some very important steps that must be taken in risk management and the first of these is to 'identify' the potential risks or the 'Risk Classes'. (Busowsky, nd) Some of the Risk Classes include such as: (1) asset failure, or the unexpected failure of an asset; (2) asset degradation or the "relative slow degradation of an asset's performance over time which is not noticed; (3) asset invasion, or the invasion or colonization of an asset; (4) unexpected human behavior or the situation in which human beings behave in ways that are completely unexpected; and (5) possible misinterpretation by humans, or such as instructions of signs that are misleading or poorly worded and result in danger to individuals; (2) Secondly it is important to 'document' or collect information concerning any potential risks; (3) Plan, this involves the use of Risk Assessment Collection and Planning Forms; and (4) Deployment of the Risk Management Plan. (Busowsky, nd)
II. Risk Management Assessment
Busowsky (nd) relates that it is necessary for the purpose of risk management in a facility such as a hospital or other facility to have a risk management assessment form. The risk management assessment form contains checklist for information such as: (1) asset -- description and locations; (2) risk classes involved; (3) potential failures; (4) types of failure; (5) consequences of failure; (6) likelihood of failure; (7) what could be done to minimize failure; (8) what can be done to recover from the failure; (8) what could be done to prevent the failure; (9) agreed upon risk minimization action; and (10) agreed upon frequency of action
III. Risk Management in Newborn Security
This specific study focuses on risk management in the area of newborn security and through use of the Newborn Security -- Code AB 900.02.10 (2008) which states that the security that the hospital system will implement and maintain is a system that serves to ensure the security of the infants who are patients at the hospital in this particular study. This will involve identification of both the infant at the mother. Infants are foot-printed immediately after their birth through use of an Accutech Security Tag applied before the newborn leave the admission nursery. Staff is also required to wear proper identification and nursing students and instructors are required to wear specifically approved uniforms for their programs and an accompanying name tag at all times and must wear a hospital issued Pink Maternal Infant Unit Badge. All hospital staff will be required to wear photo identification badges with a pink background for identification purposes. Furthermore, only staff wearing the pink GHS picture ID or medical staff picture ID are allowed to transport the infant off of the Maternal/Infant Unit. (Newborn Security -- Code AB 900.02.10, 2008, paraphrased) The proper transport procedure states that infants: (1) are transported from the L&D to the admitting unit in a bassinet or transport isolette; (2) infants are taken to...
(FEMA, 2006) Facility planning is inclusive of the preparation of short- and long-term facility plans. Comprehensive facility projects include the following: 1) New construction; 2) Additions to existing buildings; 3) Renovations of existing buildings; 4) Building systems replacements; 5) Building systems repairs; 6) Scheduled maintenance; and 7) Building disposition (change of use, sale, and demolition). (FEMA, 2006) Hotel Bur Al Arab in Dubai Building construction in Dubai is innovative, inspiring and characterized by adaptability to the environment. For

Risk Management Risk and vulnerability analysis Risk can be defined as a prediction of future events and their outcomes and consequences. Initially, as these predictions are being made, there is no guarantee that these event will actually occur. At this point, it becomes vital to apply probabilities in order to determine the likelihood of the event occurring. Risk analysis, therefore, is a process of describing risks involved in any situation or organization.
