Kam olot
among graduate students.
Javohir wholeheartedly tries to highlight the term risk management 
giving a detailed reply to Islomiddin’s questions.
Islomiddin: Could you help me to clarify, please, what the risk 
management is?
Javohir: Oh, the same misunderstanding I had when I encountered 
this term in the handbook. Well, let me say it so, Risk Management is 
the process of considering the potential and perceived risk involved 
in student activities. It includes monitoring organization activities and 
taking both corrective action and proactive steps to minimize accidental 
injury or loss.
Islomiddin: Does risk management have specific types?
Javohir: There are many risk types, major ones to consider are: 
Physical, Reputation, Emotional, Financial, Facilities.
Islomiddin: You have stated the main types and what the risk activities 
are?
Javohir: There are potentially high risk activities, they are alcohol, 
fire and life safety, travel, behaviour at parties and social events and 
others. However, this is not an all inclusive list. You should be able to 
use the concepts and tools to apply to all of your activities to assess the 
associated risks.
Islomiddin: Can you provide me with concepts associated with risk 
management?
Javohir: They are the followings:
1. Identify risky behaviour can injury or loss occur as a result of
participation in or attendance at the event or activity (running with
pointed scissors in your hand)
2. Assess the probability - how likely is an injury or loss to occur while

performing the activity (running with scissors on a rocky hill)
3. Reduce risk - you may not be able to completely eliminate all risks; 
however, what methods or controls can be implemented to make the 
event safer (controlling the use of alcohol, not allow running with 
sharp pointed items, etc.)
4. Reassess the activity now that the obvious risks have been addressed, 
what else can be done to minimize the risks
Islomiddin: How can students identify and reduce risk?
Javohir: They should meet with University advisors to review 
activities; Also, they have to read, understand and know University 
policies;
3. Encourage students to work in pairs and answer the questions.
a. At the beginning of the academic year any Uzbekistan Higher 
institution administration appoints student leaders who are 
obligated to plan events and activities together with the faculty and 
staff.
b. The authority has appointed Islomiddin Rivojiddinov as a leader of 
‘K A M O LO T’ youth social movement for his being a prioritized 
freshman in the University admission exams owing to his well- 
behavior and top academic results during a nine-month army 
service.
c. Folding the front page ofthe handbook he finds the lines ‘ Leaders of 
student organizations should be familiarized with risk assessment 
and management concepts and tools as required by Education code.
d. Having no idea about risk management Islomiddin makes up 
his mind to consult a senior student Javohir, who is a leader of 
‘K A M O LO T’ among graduate students. Javohir wholeheartedly 
tries to highlight the term risk management giving a detailed reply 
to Asliddin’s questions.
e. Javohir is a leader of ‘K A M O LO T’ among graduate students.
4. Play the tape again. A sk students to complete the statements. 
Answers may change.

d. Students should meet with University advisors to review activities; 
Also, they have to read, understand and know University policies 
to identify and reduce the risk.
5. Groupwork. Imaginary case. A sk students that they are 
planning to organize any student activity meeting the interests 
and requirements of their own field of study. Give them time to 
think about possible liability risks and how to manage them. 
Teams share their findings with the whole class.
