Risk management is a special service according to AHO booklet 19. The definition of the term "risk management" states that it involves coordinated activities that serve to guide and control an organization with regard to risks. This definition is kept so open that it is valid for various sectors, such as the insurance and construction industries. However, this definition can be formulated more specifically in the performance profile of the construction industry: "Risk management refers to the systematic promotion of project success by identifying risks and influencing their probability of occurrence or impact."
