The ability to effectively prepare, prevent and manage key risks forms one of the most important concepts in the society by guaranteeing the needed security and therefore promoting higher levels of productivity.  Therefore, the above statement is true in that most people view risks to be closed units with the distinct dimensions that are easy to identify and therefore prevent. This essay outlines why public is indeed unhappy with uncertainties in the society and responsibility taking. 

The Risks are mostly the main causes of key suffering in the society
Over the years, the risks that face people in their variant occupations have been the core cause of their inherent suffering.  As a result, these uncertainties are considered to be key threats that not only reduce their ability to work, but with key potential of causing major dependency in the society.  It is from this consideration that the public is indeed uncomfortable with the risks in the society.  A risk that may lead to a nuclear rector disaster such as that experienced in Chernobyl would indeed be highly unwelcome to many. 
May accidents resulting from risks have elements of poor design of the facilities or decision making
While managers have at times tended to differ from this view point, the results presented by various investigations have proved otherwise.  In the case of the Bhopal Disaster in India, the risk that resulted to the massive damages and loss of peoples lives culminated from the companys poor management (Aven, 45).  Notably, it is critical that managers and scientists understand that all the projects they operate have potential risks that must therefore be fully addressed before the projects can commence.  In a different case, the space shuttle Columbia risk that resulted to later disaster was due to poor scientific design and decision making by the immediate managers.  Indeed, Hulett (78) reports that the disaster could have been effectively prevented through scientific design and coordinated decision making. 

Effective pre-operations designs and analysis should identify possible risks and address them
The public claim is indeed very true in that 21st century is an era of technological advancements where precision of equipments and materials can be easily be predetermined.  As a result, the scientists should be blamed for risks that face people if they release equipments that do not meet the required standards for use.  In addition to that, Vose (87-88) explains that the managers should equally be blamed for making decisions that such sub-standard equipments be used in any production unit.  It is indeed critical that ethics override any decision to release a given product to the market or authorizing specific equipment for use by workers. 

Personal case
The ending of year 2008 will perhaps remain as one of the most tragic year in my life.  Though I had worked at the XYZ steel mills (real name withheld) for over 8 years, something unusual happened.  The contract to supply triple number of iron sheets to that companys ordinary production, led to importing of the new production machines.  However, upon further consultations, I realized that the machines did not pass the required standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  Besides, I also noted that the machines were also heating excessively compared to others.  It did not take long, before a fierce fire was reported a week before Christmas and caused major casualties. 

It is from the above discussion that this essay concludes by supporting the thesis statement, The ability to effectively prepare, prevent and manage key risks forms one of the most important concepts in the society by guaranteeing the needed security and therefore promoting higher levels of productivity..  The concern by the public is indeed genuine and true.  It is therefore critical that managers and scientists take full control of their designs and decisions to reduce the levels of risk involved in the work places.
