Question

Bev lives in the suburbs and works downtown. She drives to work, and her most direct route to work would require her to pass through an area where car-jackings and drive-by-shootings are common. Bev does not drive through this area. Instead, she uses a route which adds 10 minutes to her commute. Which risk management technique is Bev using with respect to the risk of injury while driving through the dangerous area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Risk avoidance

Explanation:

The risk management technique Bev is using with respect to the risk of injury while driving through the dangerous area is risk avoidance. Risk avoidance involves the conscious decision and actions not to expose oneself to risky situations or behaviors. By avoiding that route, Bev is avoiding any risky situation that he may be exposed to if he had taken the route.
