Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk identification

  2. Risk assessment

  3. Risk mitigation

  4. Risk acceptance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk acceptance is not a risk management technique, but rather a decision to accept a certain level of risk.

What is the primary objective of risk management in engineering projects?

  1. To eliminate all risks

  2. To minimize the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To transfer risks to other parties

  4. To accept all risks


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary objective of risk management is to minimize the likelihood and impact of risks, not to eliminate all risks or accept all risks.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk in engineering projects?

  1. Technical risks

  2. Financial risks

  3. Political risks

  4. Environmental risks


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Political risks are not typically considered to be a common risk in engineering projects.

What is the process of identifying and analyzing potential risks in an engineering project called?

  1. Risk identification

  2. Risk assessment

  3. Risk mitigation

  4. Risk monitoring


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Risk identification is the process of identifying and analyzing potential risks in an engineering project.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk assessment technique?

  1. Qualitative risk assessment

  2. Quantitative risk assessment

  3. Sensitivity analysis

  4. Monte Carlo simulation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sensitivity analysis is not a risk assessment technique, but rather a technique for analyzing the impact of changes in input parameters on the output of a model.

What is the process of developing and implementing strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of risks called?

  1. Risk identification

  2. Risk assessment

  3. Risk mitigation

  4. Risk monitoring


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk mitigation is the process of developing and implementing strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of risks.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk mitigation strategy?

  1. Avoiding the risk

  2. Reducing the likelihood of the risk

  3. Reducing the impact of the risk

  4. Transferring the risk


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Transferring the risk is not a risk mitigation strategy, but rather a risk management technique.

What is the process of monitoring and reviewing risks throughout the project lifecycle called?

  1. Risk identification

  2. Risk assessment

  3. Risk mitigation

  4. Risk monitoring


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk monitoring is the process of monitoring and reviewing risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management tool?

  1. Risk register

  2. Risk matrix

  3. Risk breakdown structure

  4. Gantt chart


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gantt chart is not a risk management tool, but rather a project management tool.

What is the probability of a risk occurring called?

  1. Risk likelihood

  2. Risk impact

  3. Risk exposure

  4. Risk tolerance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Risk likelihood is the probability of a risk occurring.

What is the potential impact of a risk called?

  1. Risk likelihood

  2. Risk impact

  3. Risk exposure

  4. Risk tolerance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Risk impact is the potential impact of a risk.

What is the product of risk likelihood and risk impact called?

  1. Risk likelihood

  2. Risk impact

  3. Risk exposure

  4. Risk tolerance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk exposure is the product of risk likelihood and risk impact.

What is the maximum level of risk that an organization is willing to accept called?

  1. Risk likelihood

  2. Risk impact

  3. Risk exposure

  4. Risk tolerance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk tolerance is the maximum level of risk that an organization is willing to accept.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management standard?

  1. ISO 31000

  2. AS/NZS 4360

  3. PMI PMBOK Guide

  4. Six Sigma


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Six Sigma is not a risk management standard, but rather a quality management methodology.

What is the process of continuously improving the risk management process called?

  1. Risk identification

  2. Risk assessment

  3. Risk mitigation

  4. Risk monitoring


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk monitoring is the process of continuously improving the risk management process.
