Tiltakstyper

Tiltakstyper is a term used in risk management and policy planning to categorize interventions intended to reduce hazards or improve outcomes. It is used across sectors such as health, safety, environment, and urban planning to structure how actions are selected, implemented and evaluated.

Tiltakstyper can be grouped into administrative and organizational measures, technical and physical measures, educational and informational measures, economic and financial measures, legal and regulatory measures, and monitoring and supervisory measures.

A common distinction is between preventive measures (reducing likelihood of harm), protective measures (limiting consequences), and recovery or remediation measures (restoring function after an event).

Examples include updated safety procedures, machine guarding, training campaigns, subsidies for safer equipment, compliance standards, and incident reporting systems.

Selecting tiltaks follows risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis, feasibility, and stakeholder acceptance, often combining several measures to address multiple risks and future resilience.
