Step 2:
Identifying the risk
There is a variety of sources and methods for identifying organisational
risk. Quite often people focus on incident reporting, and although this is

sources of risk information, some of which are outlined in Figure 2.2.
Some areas of risk may be perceived as being ‘entirely clinical’ or ‘entirely
management’. While it is certainly useful for local clinical and management
teams to conduct initial work in identifying risks specific to their area of
expertise, it is essential for an integrated system, that at some point
clinical and management teams work together to develop a
comprehensive, organisational risk register.
