that the results are likely to bring more benefits when the risk assessment is carried out by a risk assessment specialist rather than a non risk assessment specialist. There
are many examples of risk assessment that was apparently lacking. It is not always the case that the mistake or errors where due to the status of the risk assessor,
on occasions a risk assessment may not have been carried out, other times the risk assessor may not nave undertaken an objective assessment. On other occasion there may be risks
assessed by professionals in a related industry rather than be a specialist. Whilst a specialist does not guarantee that all risks can be identified, it does increase the chances of
avoiding some of the more common mistakes. There are many different types of risk, for some there would be no consideration of using a non specialist. For example, the
different space agencies track asteroids and meteorites and examine space but it is a specialist division that calculate the risk of space debris posses to the earth. In the European
Space Agency (ESA) this is undertaken at the European Space Research and Technology Centre. It has been calculated that a collision with a single piece of pace debris is unlikely.
For any single piece of debris over the size of 10 cm, it is likely to remain in orbit for 15,000 years. However there is a great deal of space
debris and they have calculated the risk of the earth colliding with a piece greater than 10 cm is likely to occur once every ten years (Daily Space, 2005). This
