6 Types of Risk Impact

 , updated on
Risk impact is an estimate of the potential losses associated with an identified risk. It is a standard risk analysis practice to develop an estimate of probability and impact. The following are common types of impact.

Health & Safety

Safety or health risks related to a location, lifestyle, occupation or activity. For example, a risk assessment for a major earthquake typically includes estimates of casualties.

Quality of Life

Nations, cities, communities, organizations and individuals may base risk assessments on quality of life factors. For example, before purchasing a house an individual may consider the risk that an adjacent industrial property will pollute the air.

Sustainability

Risks to the environment such as estimates of potential damage to an ecosystem.

Financial

Financial impacts such as lost revenue, costs and expenses. Financial impacts may be modeled as a single estimate or a probability distribution.

Time

Projects often estimate risk impact in terms of cost and time. For example, a project team may estimate the impact of technical risks in terms of delays to a schedule.

Reputation

Risk impact can be viewed in terms of social factors such as reputation. For example, an airline might assess the risk of a practice such as overbooking in terms of customer satisfaction and brand value.
