Description

Although the term "Risk Assessment" has been getting popular in the regulatory context and for the public, there seem to be many cases where the decision makings in the society do not place reliance on risk assessment. In this article, three points that would enhance the presence of risk assessment in the society's decision making were discussed; quantitative evaluation of risk, appropriate address of uncertainty in the risk assessment, and initial risk estimation of emerging risks. Research and developments of risk assessment methodology from such viewpoints are required.
