This is a great article about risk management. However, I believe it is missing one important, aspect especially for top management. When it comes to risk and risk management, I think it is critical to include financial data to catch management attention. I would definitely add financial impact/loss to the graphs, and what the expected expenditures are to mitigate these risks.

The more written about risk management the better. It is the best means to proactively reduce problems. Look out for a new ISO standard (ISO 15504 part 9) that relates risk to process capability that I hope to see published in 2011.

This is an outstanding article about establishing risk assessment to risk management. It is an excellent explanation of the "how to" for risk assessment communicated in ISO 9001:2008. I will definitely use it to revise my risk assessment procedure for my company.

The correct year edition of ISO 14001 is 2004.
It is a pity that the author has not based his text on the new ISO 31000:2009 - Risk management - Principles and guidelines, and ISO Guide 73:2009 - Risk management - Vocabulary.
The author missed a great opportunity to disseminate among quality professionals concepts and ideas that were widely discussed and approved by the international community over the past five years.
