Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/risk-assessment

Risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying hazards or risks, analyzing their likelihood and potential severity, and determining appropriate controls to mitigate them. It is used across industries including occupational safety, cybersecurity, finance, and healthcare to prioritize which risks need immediate attention. Safety officers, auditors, and risk managers regularly conduct assessments to comply with regulations and protect people, assets, and operations.
