1. You have been hired as the risk manager for the Red Ribbon Vodka Distillery, which specializes in making a variety of flavors of vodka. It is your job to identify the various risks that the organization faces and determine the appropriate risk treatment techniques required to treat the various risks. Below, you are presented with four different scenarios that occur at the distillery. For each scenario, you must do the following: (1) identify the organization's key hazard risks; (2) categorize the key hazard risks according to highest impact and likelihood, medium impact and likelihood, or low impact and likelihood; (3) develop a risk map of the identified key hazard risks; and (4) provide a recommendation for treating each key hazard risk. Scenario 1:A safety inspector has completed a review of the manufacturing equipment and has determined that there is a leak in one of the tanks causing it to release ethanol vapors. The maintenance department has indicated that the tank cannot be fixed for a period of 18 hours. Scenario 2:A senior quality-assurance manager has access to a company-insured vehicle that he drives on a daily basis. Over the past six months, he has been involved in four car accidents. Rumor's have been circulating around the plant that this same manager has been seen enjoying drinks after work at a pub down the street from the distillery. Scenario 3:The company has made the decision to install a new alarm system at the manufacturing plant. Due to scheduling issues, the new alarm system installation process will take one week. This will leave the company without an alarm system for this period. The company does not currently have available funds to hire security guards. Scenario 4:The chief financial officer (CFO) of the Red Ribbon Distillery has specialized knowledge about the finances of the organization. He has not shared this knowledge with any managers or employees. Yesterday, the CFO resigned without any notice and accepted a job with another distillery.
