All systematic risk management starts with an analysis (risk analysis) which can take different forms and depths. The simplest form of risk analysis is carried out as an experience-based inventory of the most common risks using a checklist. Before the analysis, a delimitation of the analysis area is made (building, premises, operations), then probable risks within each area are listed, assessed and valued. The analysis can follow a production flow or start with the risks within the analysis area and end with influencing external risks (transport, energy, telecommunications service). The analysis method offers a methodology and thus facilitates consistent implementation and orderly documentation of the review work that the analysis entails.

Detailed risk analyzes are both time- and labor-intensive and make greater demands on competence and technical support than checklists and other more comprehensive analysis methods. For all risk analysis activities, careful planning, the right composition of the analysis team and a comprehensive explanation of the risks are a prerequisite for a good result. risk management starts with an analysis (risk analysis) which can take different forms and depths.
