Risk Communication

Such risk analyses may involve or have potential impacts upon the mandates and current and/or potential activities a large number of agencies, organizations and individuals. For an import risk analysis, for example, primary among these will be the proponent, the Competent Authorities in the exporting and importing countries, and the risk analysis team. However, there will be many others with an interest in the outcome, the precise agencies, organizations and individuals varying depending on the commodity being considered and its intended use. Key stakeholders should be identified early in the risk analysis process and methods of advising them and seeking input established. The importance of good risk communication throughout the entire risk analysis process cannot be overstressed.
