It outlines the key steps as identifying risks, evaluating and analyzing risks to understand their likelihood and potential impact, prioritizing risks, treating risks by avoiding, reducing, sharing, or retaining them, and continuously monitoring risks to ensure risk mitigation plans are working. The major risks identified are legal, environmental, market, and regulatory risks. Treatments include stopping risky activities (avoidance), adjusting plans to lower the chance of risk occurring or its impact (reduction), outsourcing risks to third parties (sharing), and accepting risks with contingency plans (retention).
