Risk advisories
Risks are communicated to employers and industries through risk advisories. Most of the risk advisories include the following information:
- Brief description of the risk
- Industries that may be at risk
- What employers can do
- Other resources
In some cases, there is not much known about the risk so the risk advisory may be brief.
