In earlier chapters, mention has been made to some new emerging risks in the changing world of work. Here we give a short list of new risks (Section 5.1), combined with a description of strategies and methods on how to deal with those risks within the Risk Management and Risk Governance process, focussing on the “precautionary principle” (Section 5.2).
