Risk surrounds every human activity and influences everything we do. RAMP (Risk Analysis and Management for Projects) is a simple and straightforward process for evaluating and controlling risk in major projects, which has been developed by a joint working party of the actuarial and civil engineering professions. This handbook shows how RAMP can enable one to identify, analyse and respond to risks, and place financial values on them.
