About Risk! Engineers Talk Governance
Due Diligence and Risk Engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss governance in an engineering context. Richard & Gaye are co-directors at R2A and have seen the risk business industry become very complex. The OHS/WHS 'business', in particular, has turned into an industry, that appears to be costing an awful lot of organisations an awful lot of money for very little result. Richard & Gaye's point of difference is that they come from the Common Law viewpoint of what would be expected to be done in the event that something happens. Which is very, very different from just applying the risk management standard (for example). They combine common law and risk management to come to a due diligence process to make organisations look at what their risk issues are and, more importantly, what they have to have in place to manage these things. Due diligence is a governance exercise. You can't always be right, but what the courts demand of you is that you're always diligent

[…] Right. But basically the key changes that we've always focused on was the fact they were focused on critical events and particularly for small businesses that was your only duty to a certain extent. Smaller matters didn't need to be considered. The other one which sort of obviously bothered you is that approved codes of practice, which pop up in Australia as well, if there is an approved code of practice and you have complied with said approved code of practice, then it's very difficult... To be prosecuted outside of that. So in a way that's... becoming a lot more prescriptive than I thought the intent of the WHS legislation was supposed to be at the start. […]
