King Edward VII College Contingency Plan The contingency planning process will be used by the management team to ensure that we plan for contingencies related to meeting the goals of the operational plan. It will be done so in the form of a risk management plan with the risks specifically related to the goals of the operational plan. Definitions The following definitions are based on the Australian and New Zealand Risk Management Standard AS/NZS 4360:2004. Risk The chance of something happening which will have an impact upon objectives. It is measured in terms of consequence and likelihood. Likelihood A qualitative description or synonym for probability or frequency. Consequence The outcome of an event or situation, expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being a loss, injury, disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event. Risk assessment The overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation.
