The conventional approach to risk communication based on a centralized and controlled model
has led to blatant failures in the management of recent safety related events. In parallel
several cases have proved that actors not thought of as risk governance or safety management
contributors may play a positive role regarding safety. Building on these two observations and
bridging the gap between risk communication and safety practices leads to a new more societal
perspective on risk communication that allows for smart risk governance and safety management.
