Would you like some tips on how to avoid misunderstandings and make sure you get your message across to your audience? Occupational health and safety consultant and engineer Dorothy Saristavros took the time to share her expertise on risk communication in our latest Q&A article. You can read it here:

Thanks for posting, Kevin. Would it be useful to start a news and information discussion forum on REBOK?

During today's webinar on Australian Capital Projects – Risk Management, Project Controls and COVID-19 Pedram Danesh-Mand mentioned some useful references for calculating contingency and escalation in projects. I've posted them here for easy reference.
Risk Engineering Society Contingency Guideline: https://rebok.engineersaustralia.org.au/search/?q=contingency&quick=1
Australian Government Cost Estimation Guide: https://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/about/funding_and_finance/cost_estimation_guidance.aspx
Pedram also mentioned some guidelines for escalation from the AACEI, which he recommended as a secondary reference for Australian projects. The full documents are only accessible to AACE members, but links to samples are below:

We've updated the Further Reading section of the Complexity and Risk Management topic in the REBOK wiki with Warren Black's recommendations to further explore the ideas he talked about in his recent webinar. His suggestions are also in the slide below.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently released a report examining the economic consequences and risk resulting from the global COVID-19 Pandemic. A summary of key findings from the WEF website is below.
QuoteBased on the perceptions of 350 of the world’s top risk professionals, a thorough analysis of early evidence and trends, and the collective knowledge of the Global Risks team and its partners (Marsh & McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group), the report identifies four key areas of concern:
- Economic Shifts: Emerging Risks from Structural Change
- Sustainability Setbacks: Emerging Risks from Stalling Progress
- Societal Anxieties: Emerging Risks from Social Disruptions
- Technology Dependence: Emerging Risks from Abrupt Adoption
You can download the full report at this link. https://www.weforum.org/reports/covid-19-risks-outlook-a-preliminary-mapping-and-its-implications

Thanks for posting this, Geoff. Just a note that to download this monograph PDF file you need to register as a member of the REBOK community. Registration is free and open to anyone with an interest in risk engineering.

We're gearing up to deliver a series of lunchtime webinars on topics of interest to the REBOK community starting in May. In the meantime, R2A Due Diligence Engineers have kindly allowed us to include a link to the recording of their webinar Introduction to Engineering Due Diligence which you can view here.
If you would like to nominate as a presenter or have any topic suggestions please email Jackson Jones, the REBOK community facilitator (Rebok@engineersaustralia.org.au)

Thanks for joining the conversation, Geoff. I thought it would be a good opportunity to point members to the REBOK page which looks at the differences and legal ramifications of reducing risk to 'as low as reasonably practicable' (ALARP) and 'so far as is reasonably practicable' (SFAIRP). Here's a link:

Engineers Australia has posted a checklist developed by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) and international law firm Hogan Lovells to address concerns raised by industry. They give the following disclaimer: "Whilst FIDIC does not provide legal advice on any of our standard procurement contract forms, we believe that the check list provided below will be useful as a starting point for any business in addressing the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current projects." https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/node/51486

Risk Engineering Society (RES) President and REBOK Steering Committee member Geoff Hurst recently provided some practical advice for managing risks posed by COVID-19 at engineering workplaces. It would be interesting to hear whether other community members have advice to share.

To more easily allow the REBOK Community to keep up to date and discuss developments and discussions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we've created a new dedicated forum:

One of the objectives of REBOK is to explore the essence and boundaries of risk engineering. To that end, we have been working on a FAQ page that explores what risk engineering is and how it relates to different engineering disciplines, project and risk management. It would be great to get the conversation started about what risk engineering means to other members of the REBOK Community. Comments and input welcome.

Hi Deon, glad you found them useful! We are planning webinars for this year, so please feel free to email the REBOK community facilitator (Rebok@engineersaustralia.org.au) if you have any suggestions for speakers or topics.

Criminal Manslaughter: How not not to do it
in Risk news and information
Posted
Criminal manslaughter provisions in WHS and OHS legislation Victoria, Queensland and WA have changed due diligence goalposts for engineers and organisations. You can learn more in this Q&A with R2A Due Diligence Engineers. There are still a couple of spots available in their course on 11 November if you're quick!
