As far as risk management is concerned, majority of them are
technicians because of the nature of the campany's work. These are more exposed
to physical injuries at the field work than their fellow administrators and
cleaners which means they need personal protective equipments and need more
trainings in prevention of risks and accidents at work more than other
categories of employees. Administrators on the other side need trainings in
financial risk management and human resource management. All of them need to be
informed on risk management whereby each category need to be trained in risks
related to the nature of their works.

These people are coutious at work and have less risks of being
injured than less experienced employees. Again, experienced personel know
better rules and regulations than new comers on job and this is a good point on
behalf of the company. However, less experienced employees have difficulty to
comply with work lawas.
According to the figures shown, it is abvious that a high
number of respondents (46%) have between one and five years of experience which
means they need more traings on risk management than those with a lot of

According to training in Risk management, 92% have had it in
relation to their domains of work at least once while 8% have not had any. This
is a good point for the company as it tries to train its employees. The
remaining should also be trained as well, as every body has a risk at some
degrees. Employees will be better informed and may reach to good achievements
such as business plans, appropriate schedules and budgets, increased likelihood
of business growth, proper allocation of risk, identification of best risk
owner, improved communication etc.
