Answer preview

In any working environment, there are risks involved. Working places that involve plenty
of movements, many people, and a lot of goods like a warehouse is more prone to risks. As the
warehouse expands, the activities increase and also do the risks involved. Every management
must develop measures on how to protect their goods, employees, and assets. They are required
to assess the risks and aid in risk management. Risk assessment and management are essential
since they help the company avoid accidents that might cause the warehouse to sustain
significant losses. The most critical part of risk assessment and management is identifying the
risks one is exposed to and the possible remedies.
