# The Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Scotland) Regulations 2002, Paragraph 14: Step 5: Risk management strategies


(1) Where risks are identified that require, on the basis of their characterisation, measures to manage them, a risk management strategy must be proposed for each risk.
(2) The risk management strategies must be described in terms of reducing the hazard or the exposure, or both, and must be proportionate to the intended reduction of the risk, the scale and conditions of the release and the levels of uncertainty identified in the environmental risk assessment
(3) The consequent reduction in overall risk must be quantified where possible.
