How to measure RISK
Risk!
These key questions will help us assess the customer risk tolerance and help us make the right solution and pricing recommendation
- What is the history and risk of outages in the station?
- What is the species causing the risk and what are the equipment clearances (wingspans or animal reach make a difference when evaluating equipment clearances)?
- What is the customer tolerance of risk in that station – does it feed an airport, a manufacturing plant, a hospital, a nuclear station, a dense population area or another critical customer?
- What is the customer’s cost consideration versus risk tolerance?
