The program includes an inventory and classification of key risk areas and key risk topics to be assessed; a methodology for scoring identified risks based on the risk’s probability, severity and velocity of impact, and for trending key risks; a framework for developing countermeasures for key risks; a process for assigning responsibility and deadlines for the implementation of such countermeasures, and re-assessing such risks following implementation of the applicable countermeasures; and a timeline for collection and synthesis of the risk assessment data and reporting of key risks and countermeasures to the Danaher Risk Committee and the Danaher Board of Directors.
