Every job has the opportunity of the risk because occurrence of work accidents can be caused by various factors. PT. CA is a large distributor of motorcycle spare parts which has activities including receiving goods from fabrication and then storing them in temporary warehouses before being distributed to dealers in various regions. The company's activities have a large potential for accidents due to several operations. To hazard identification, risk assessment, and determining control in any work that occurs or has the potential to occur, it is necessary to analyze using HIRADC. The method used is a descriptive method described in the flow process and then identified possible hazards that occur in each activity step. After the identification process is complete, a risk assessment is carried out to determine the form of control. The object of research is the receiving section of the work area. The results of this study are that the receiving section has 7 existing activities and there are 20 potential hazards that are possible, from these potentials the current control is to maximize APD to minimize danger. The highest level of risk is substantial in the activity of moving cargo to temporary storage or inspection areas with a potential danger of crashing into workers which has an impact on limb injuries, fractures, and even death, so this activity is a concern to avoid work accidents. In addition, it is determined that hazard control is carried out by means of forklift lanes that are not allowed to be passed by workers and control recommendations are in the form of setting SOPs, ensuring that forklifts complete their activities to carry out inspections.

This study aims to investigate the potential hazards and accidents that might occur at batik printing PT. Batik Merak Manis and recommends practical solutions to enhance safety and health at the workplace. This research adopts Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) and Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) to perform risk identification and assessment in the workplace. There are 17 findings of potential hazards in the production areas of batik printing which can be categorized into five types of hazards including: workers attitude, work posture, work procedure, workstation, and physical work environment. Of the risk assessment, the obtained value of 34% in the category of extreme hazard, 24% hazard in the high and medium category respectively, and 18% lower hazard category. Proposed improvements are made based HAZOP analysis worksheet. The proposed practical solutions include improvements in work attitude, work posture, and physical work environment.

This paper presents a methodology to identify hazards associated with electric-induced drowning and electric shocks for swimmers around docks, houseboats, and other boats in both freshwater and saltwater; assesses scenarios and risks associated with these hazards; and provides information needed to communicate results of the study to the public. The methodology consists of system definition, hazard identification, scenario assessment, risk assessment including likelihood and consequences in the form of health effects, and identification of potential hazard barriers and mitigations. Critical scenarios were identified and assessed according to weighting criteria, and the results were prioritized and used to define the parametric analysis ranges that needed to be performed using simulation. Event and fault trees (FTs) were developed for the critical scenarios. Shock safety criteria were defined by reviewing standards, such as the IEEE Standard for Shock Safety and the IEC Standard for Shock Safety. These results were used to determine critical voltage differential and current thresholds.

The entire activity involving human factors, machinery, chemicals, and through some work processes had the potential hazard that increased the risk of accidents and health problems. Aircraft paint removal job was a high risk of an accident. The purpose of this research was to identify hazards, assess pure risks, identify risk control, and assess risks after risk control were conducted on aircraft paint removal job in  PT. X. Type of this research was descriptive research. Primary data retrieval techniques in the study was observational and interview. The subject of research were 1 PDCA HSE and 4 aircraft paint removal workers. Variable in this study is the hazards, likelihood, severity, risk levels, and risk control. The results of hazard identification obtained 14 risk in Aircraft Paint Removal such as 1 low risk, 2 middle risks and 13 high risks. Risk control by the company showed that there are 13 high risk decrease to 7, 2 middle risks increased to 6 risk, and 1 low risk increased to 3 risks. In conclusion, PTX. has 14 risks, 13 of them included in the high risk category. There was a decrease in risk due to the control carriedd out by the company into 13 risks and 7 of them included in high risk.Keywords: aircraft paint removal, hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control

Abstract Motivation Generalized Read-Across (GenRA) is a data-driven approach to estimate physico-chemical, biological or eco-toxicological properties of chemicals by inference from analogues. GenRA attempts to mimic a human expert’s manual read-across reasoning for filling data gaps about new chemicals from known chemicals with an interpretable and automated approach based on nearest-neighbors. A key objective of GenRA is to systematically explore different choices of input data selection and neighborhood definition to objectively evaluate predictive performance of automated read-across estimates of chemical properties. Results We have implemented genra-py as a python package that can be freely used for chemical safety analysis and risk assessment applications. Automated read-across prediction in genra-py conforms to the scikit-learn machine learning library's estimator design pattern, making it easy to use and integrate in computational pipelines. We demonstrate the data-driven application of genra-py to address two key human health risk assessment problems namely: hazard identification and point of departure estimation. Availability and implementation The package is available from github.com/i-shah/genra-py.

The oil and gas pipeline companies in China are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges because of China’s increasing demand for oil and gas energy that is attributed to rapid economic and social development. Limitation of land resource and the fast urbanization lead to a determinate result that many pipelines have to go through or be adjacent to highly populated areas such as cities or towns. The increasing Chinese government regulation, and public concerns about industrial safety and environmental protection push the pipeline companies to enhance the safety, health and environmental protection management. In recent years, PetroChina Pipeline Company (PPC) pays a lot of attention and effort to improve employees and public safety around the pipeline facilities. A comprehensive, integrated HSE management system is continuously improved and effectively implemented in PPC. PPC conducts hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control and mitigation, risk monitoring. For the oil and gas stations in highly populated area or with numerous employees, PPC carries out quantitative risk assessment (QRA) to evaluate and manage the population risk. To make the assessment, “Guidelines for quantitative risk assessments” (purple book) published by Committee for the Prevention of Disasters of Netherlands is used along with a software package. The basic principles, process, and methods of QRA technology are introduced in this article. The process is to identify the station hazards, determinate the failure scenarios of the facilities, estimate the possibilities of leakage failures, calculate the consequences of failures and damages to population, demonstrate the individual risk and social risk, and evaluate whether the risk is acceptable. The process may involve the mathematical modeling of fluid and gas spill, dispersion, fire and explosion. One QRA case in an oil pipeline station is described in this article to illustrate the application process and discuss several key issues in the assessment. Using QRA technique, about 20 stations have been evaluated in PPC. On the basis of the results, managers have taken prevention and mitigation plans to control the risk. QRAs in the pipeline station can provide a quantitative basis and valuable reference for the company’s decision-making and land use planning. Also, QRA can play a role to make a better relationship between the pipeline companies and the local regulator and public. Finally, this article delivers limitations of QRA in Chinese pipeline stations and discusses issues of the solutions.
