Why do you need it?
Risk communication is the process of engaging with affected populations so that they can take informed decisions to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Risk communication can:
- raise awareness
- encourage protective behaviour
- inform to build up knowledge on hazards and risks
- inform to promote acceptance of risks and management measures
- inform on how to behave during events
- warn of and trigger action to impending and current events
- reassure the audience (to reduce anxiety or ‘manage’ outrage)
- improve relationships (build trust, cooperation, networks)
- enable mutual dialogue and understanding
- involve people in decision making.
Our Occupational Physicians are skilled communicators enabling them to translate highly complex issues into readily digestible information for a wide range of audiences.
If you have an occupational health issue and escalating concerns in your workforce, we have the experience and expertise required to support you to address those concerns. We will analyse the issue, make recommendations and communicate the risk assessment outcomes effectively.
