This project aims to explore how to manage risk through sustainable organisational strategies and institutional transformations. Chemical risks arise as by-products of economic and technological progress and can cause untold harm to human health and the environment. Using a discursive approach to compare how organisations in Australia and Canada manage chemical risks, this project aims to show how organisations can act as institutional entrepreneurs and introduce sustainable field-level solutions to risk, instead of relying on government regulation to deal with dangerous chemicals. The intended outcomes include the development of a model that identifies the challenges associated with three different risk scenarios – managing established risks, managing emerging risks and eliminating risks – as well as identifying and evaluating strategies to address these challenges.

该项目旨在探索如何通过可持续的组织战略和制度转型来管理风险。化学风险是经济和技术进步的副产品，可能对人类健康和环境造成难以估量的危害。该项目采用推论方法比较澳大利亚和加拿大的组织如何管理化学品风险，旨在展示组织如何充当机构企业家并引入可持续的现场风险解决方案，而不是依赖政府监管来处理危险化学品。预期成果包括开发一个模型，识别与三种不同风险场景相关的挑战——管理既定风险、管理新兴风险和消除风险——以及识别和评估应对这些挑战的策略。
