1 Assess the risks

Before introducing or using any new technology, you should conduct a risk assessment to identify and evaluate the possible hazards and their impact. You can use a simple framework such as the Hierarchy of Controls to prioritize the most effective ways to eliminate or minimize the risks. For example, you can design or modify the technology to make it safer, implement engineering or administrative controls, or provide personal protective equipment.

Leverage new technologies like automation and Al to gain efficiency and real-time insights. Then approach the risks and opportunities holistically instead of just reacting to issues as they arise to build secure scalable architecture supported by strong processes and governance.
