Revasia

A two days course on qualitative risk assessment was held by CIRAD (Dr.Flavie Goutard and Dr. Marisa Peyre) at National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, 1 Yersin, Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi, Vietnam during the 4th and 5th of May 2016.

The course objective would be to give participants the necessary knowledge and understanding of risk analysis to understand and conduct risk analysis studies using the latest methods.

At the end of the training participants mastered the vocabulary of risk analysis and understood the main concepts that are needed to explain the different steps in risk analysis, the difference between qualitative and quantitative risk assessment. 

Several examples and hands-on exercises have been studied in order for the participants to apply and adapt what they have learned.

The second day of the training workshop would be mainly dedicated to working group activities during which participants will have to think about:

• The importance to define precisely the risk question 
• The importance to set up a precise and accurate risk pathway 
• The different steps that must be implemented when carrying a Qualitative Risk Analysis 
• How to carry qualitative risk estimation
