In the landscape of security, safety, and risk management, businesses grapple with challenges that extend beyond traditional financial considerations. The identification, analysis, and control of risks are pivotal elements for a business's sustainability, yet a comprehensive understanding of these components remains elusive. Stakeholders, including students, scholars, and practitioners, yearn for a resource that not only highlights the timeliness of risk management. Cases on Security, Safety, and Risk Management is the ideal resource for businesses navigating the complex landscape of risk.

This book, with its research-based case studies, provides practical wisdom and offers tangible solutions to the intricate security issues that businesses encounter. Whether you're a student seeking deeper insights, a scholar in pursuit of cutting-edge research cases, or a practitioner aiming to enhance your risk analysis and decision-making skills, this book is an invaluable resource.
