| Summary |
We expect governments to protect citizens from the adverse consequences of hazardous events; at the same time it is not possible or necessarily in the best interest of citizens for all risks to be removed. A risk-based approach to the design and implementation of regulation can help to ensure that regulatory approaches are efficient, effective and account for risk/risk tradeoffs across policy objectives, and can improve the welfare of citizens by providing better protection, more efficient government services and reduced costs for business. Across the OECD few governments have taken steps to develop a coherent risk governance policy for managing regulation. This publication presents recent OECD research and analysis on risk and regulatory policy, discussing core challenges and offering measures for developing, or improving, coherent risk governance policies. Topics include: cultural and legal dimensions of risk regulatory concepts across OECD; analytical models and principles for decision making in uncertain situations; the use of management-based regulation to help firms make risk-related behavioral changes; an analysis of the risk-based frameworks of regulators in five OECD countries (Australia, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom) and across four sectors: environment, food safety, financial markets and health and safety; and the elements for designing formal guidelines for risk prioritization, assessment, management and communication.--Publisher's description |
