What do we mean by landslide ‘hazard’ and ‘risk’?
The terms Hazard and Risk are defined in Section 3.3.3 of the Slope Maintenance Manual and are clarified in Theme 5. For now we can assume that a landslide Hazard is a potential feature that is or could create failureA landslide Risk is the expected consequences of that failure in respect of life, damage, and economic activity.

Theme 3.1 Slope hazard inventory for route selection
Determine distribution of existing slope failuresIndentify most significant factorsDivide area of study into slope unitsMeasure landslide controlling factors for each unitAssign hazard rank to each unitVerify assumptions on the ground

Theme 3.2 Slope hazard inventory for roadside slope management
Need to establish slope database by walkover survey and identifying existing and potential landslide features More detail to be given in Theme 4

Theme 3.3 Engineering practice to minimise roadside slope stability hazards
Avoid existing identified unstable areasAvoid major earthworks (cut and fill)Consider balanced earthworksConsider reducing road standards (width and alignment)If unstable area not avoidable, no reduction in instability (e.g. drainage, retaining wall, toe berm)
