Dignity of risk is a concept of self determination and we have the right to take risks that are essential for our dignity and self esteem . It is important for those whose freedom is limited, it can be limitation in decision making or personal freedom . Impediment of this right leads to decrease in personal growth and thereby decreased quality of life.

So, we have the fundamental right to make mistakes , take risks and learn from it thereby it helps in personal growth , and acquiring understanding about various risks in life. Hence in workplace if I take a risk like doing some other project which is not required , sooner or later I will learn from it and should consider dignity of risk with respect to the duty of care. We can try hit and trial method to do anything which we don't know and learn from it.
Duty of care is the legal law related to dignity of care.
