API-580 Exam - Question 52


Act of mitigating a known risk to a lower level of risk.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Risk reduction refers to the act of mitigating a known risk to a lower level of risk by taking specific actions. This distinguishes it from risk evaluation and risk mitigation. Risk evaluation is the process of assessing the levels of risk, while risk mitigation involves selecting and implementing measures to manage risk. However, risk reduction specifically pertains to the actions taken to decrease the level of risk.

3.1.56 defines risk reduction as the actions taken, whereas risk mitigation is the selection and implementation of measures in 3.1.55. It is tricky, but it seems API intends mitigation as a bound labeling the chosen act and reduction as taking the act.
