Introduction This page provides an outline of the historical context of risk engineering and management. Risk Management Possibly the earliest evidence of risk management to increase the chances of success in the face of obstacles is from 2,500 years ago. In The Art of War, Ancient Chinese philosopher and General Sun Tzu documents the need for Military Generals to carry out comprehensive threat assessments of their surrounding environment in order to understand their probability of winning a battle. This includes extensive discussion of planning for risk. Around the 13th century, probability theory emerged as a means of better understanding the probability of winning in games or gambling. Four centuries later, European trade merchants frustrated about the high risk and uncertain nature of sea journeys devised insurance strategies to hedge against the risk of merchant ships not returning from travel. After World War II the world moved into the globalisation era, where large organisations expanded to take advantage of international sales opportunities. This led to soaring insurance premiums as companies were exposed to more risk and uncertainty. In response, global organisations started to look for ways to ‘self-insure’ through improved internal risk management. This spawned the Internal Control and Enterprise-Wide Risk Management disciplines. In the present day, risk management is a commonly accepted management discipline. It is considered a critical component of most forms of strategic and operational management, in a wide range of professional specialisations, engineering disciplines, application categories and industries.

Introduction The REBOK steering committee is a group of risk engineering experts and interested engineers who have volunteered their time to construct, govern, update and maintain the quality of REBOK. They also run the calendar of webinars and events for the community, and are active participants in the Risk Engineering Society (RES) LinkedIn discussion group. The steering committee meets via teleconference once a month, and welcomes input and involvement from the risk engineering, engineering and broader community of risk practitioners. If you would like to contribute to REBOK, please contact the community facilitator. 2021 Steering Committee Members A list of current committee members and roles for is below: REBOK Steering Committee Chair: Gary Marling Contributing Members: Geoff Hurst, Warren Black, Peter Flanagan, Jim Whiting, Susan jacques EA Learned Society Lead for Member Engagement: Kiri Robbie EA Community of Practice Coordinator: Jackson Jones Description of REBOK Roles and Responsibilities REBOK Steering Committee Chair. This is essentially the person who runs REBOK. The Chair oversees the other volunteer roles, leads Steering Committee meetings, decides whether webinars run by the state RES Chapters will be published on REBOK and delegates tasks and fill gaps where necessary. The Chair is also the communications manager, responsible for liaising with the REBOK community to generate and promote content and EA staff to moderate community members where required. Contributing Members. The REBOK Contributing Members are engineers with an interest in promoting risk engineering to the wider engineering community. Ideally, they will include a representative from each state RES Chapter, and one from the National RES Committee. The Contributing Members will identify topics that need to be addressed, find speakers, host these speakers in webinars, and assist and comment on wiki content. EA Learned Society Lead for Member Engagement. An Engineers Australia staff member will deliver the following services to the REBOK project: Work with the REBOK Chair and Steering Committee to benefit members by developing the body of knowledge and identifying CPD opportunities Monitor REBOK forums and content for inappropriate or offensive material and moderate where required. EA Community Coordinator. An Engineers Australia staff member will deliver the following services to the REBOK project: Manage website set up, upgrades/maintenance, and management of change requests from the Steering Committee Work with identified speakers to encourage REBOK content Obtain speaker agreements Set up webinars Organise transcription of webinars and deliver them to the REBOK Editor for editing and entry into the REBOK wiki Edit video recordings and host them in a repository Manage sales of recordings Provide training/guidance documents for webinar hosts and presenters.

Introduction A safety case is a document which identifies the hazards and risks associated with a facility, how they are controlled and the safety management system in place to ensure controls are applied. Purpose The Safety Case Guideline (Third Edition) has been produced by the Risk Engineering Society (RES) to clarify the safety case concept and how it applies to engineers' due diligence under the provisions of the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act 2011. This guideline considers how a safety case argument can be used as a tool to positively demonstrate safety due diligence consistent with the model WHS legislation. It also provides general information concerning the concepts and applications of risk theory to safety case arguments, as well as practical guidance for engineers on preparing and presenting a safety case argument. Availability This guideline is available from the Engineers Australia bookshop.

Introduction Contingency can be defined as a specific allocation of resources (capital cost, resources, time) in addition to the project base estimate or schedule as a provision for inherent and/or contingent risks for the project manager's desired confidence level. Purpose The Risk Engineering Society (RES) Contingency Guideline provides a reference document for different practical approaches and guidance to sizing, allocating and managing the most appropriate contingency reserves (time and cost) required at different stages of the asset investment lifecycle for projects and programs. It also explicitly takes into account the risks facing the investment as well as the decision-makers’ level of risk appetite and tolerance. While this guideline is predominantly for project managers, estimators, schedulers and risk engineers, it also provides a useful overview for business leaders wanting to better understand contingency management and its importance in achieving the objectives of project-based organisations. This guideline is also designed to raise the general level of awareness of executives about how contingency should be assessed, used and retained from projects to the program and portfolio levels of an organisation. It also provides guidance to establish a consistent methodology to transfer this data between organisational levels to facilitate effective decision making. The RES Contingency Guideline acknowledges that there are a broad range of contingency definition, setting and management methodologies and while a “one size fits all” approach is not appropriate, there are benefits in constructing a common framework with a uniform set of terminologies and approaches, a high degree of transparency, guidance on clear authorisation arrangements, and fit-for-purpose governance. The first edition of the RES Contingency Guideline was published in May 2016. Due to the dynamic nature of the subject matter and changing public and private requirements, the RES committee intends to periodically review and update the document. The second edition of the RES Contingency Guideline was published in February 2019, following comprehensive consultation with industry. Availability The RES Contingency Guideline and the RES Contingency Guideline, 2nd Edition are available from the Engineers Australia Bookshop.
