In this article, the subject of research is the methods of risk assessment in business as the main way to minimize risks when choosing a particular scenario for the development of events, as well as the difficulty in choosing a method for further analysis. The purpose of this article is to identify the most appropriate risk assessment method for a given situation and, accordingly, compare them and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the methods under consideration. The article provides examples for specific situations of the most commonly used risk assessment methods in modern business. Recommendations for the most effective application of the analyzed methods are offered, depending on the goal of risk analysis and a specific situation. The results and conclusions are presented, corresponding to the set goal.

Abstract. Annually, tractor accidents are estimated to account for more than 100 deaths in South Korea. Periodic accident surveys have served as an essential means for the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (NAS) to develop strategies to prevent tractor accidents. In this study, hazards leading to accidents were identified, and their risks were assessed based on survey results to establish a more effective accident prevention strategy. Risk assessment for hazards proceeded as follows: hazard identification, frequency estimation, number of equivalent fatalities (NEF) estimation, and finally risk evaluation. Hazards were identified by analyzing 588 accident cases from NAS surveys and performing an expert review of the analysis results by implementing a Delphi survey. The frequency and NEF of each hazard were estimated by multiplying its probabilities and the statistical results of the NAS surveys. Each hazard was plotted in a frequency-NEF (FN) diagram and evaluated according to its position. Fifty-four hazards were identified, and their frequencies and NEF values were estimated. The risk evaluation results, based on the FN diagram, revealed that no hazard was located in the “unacceptable” area, and two hazards (carelessness and not looking ahead carefully) were in the “as low as reasonably practicable” area. Thus, it is critical to mitigate the effects of these two hazards. With the risk assessment method used in this study, personnel who are engaged in the prevention of tractor accidents, such as policymakers, extension specialists, and researchers, can quantitatively predict how many cases or fatalities can be reduced by eliminating a certain hazard. Keywords: Equivalent fatality, Frequency estimation, Hazard identification, Risk assessment, Tractor accident.

The HIRA (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment) method is a process of identifying hazards that occur in all company activities, then conducting a risk assessment of the hazards that occur. Introduction: Based on the initial survey conducted at PT. X, it was found that there were work accidents such as pinched hands, cuts, entanglement in processing machines which caused the risk of accidents. This research was conducted at PT.X in February-August 2021. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative method. This study analyzes the risk of work accidents using the HIRA (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment) method which aims to identify hazards and conduct a risk assessment of these hazards. The research informants were 6 people consisting of 2 key informants and 4 main informants. Results: The results showed that there were 44 types of hazards from 8 work stations at PT. X. Among them, 16% have a small risk of harm (trivial), 38.6% have a tolerable risk, 34.1% have a moderate risk of harm, 4.5% have a substantial risk of harm, 6, 8% have an intolerable risk of harm. Conclusion: Risk analysis is a process by which hazards are identified and risks are estimated to assess the damage caused with the likelihood of damage occurring.

Large spaces, such as warehouses where internal loads are stored, exhibit higher fire loads and faster fire growths than general fires. In addition, the volume of the internal load reduces the space required for the smoke to stay, thereby accelerating the decline in smoke height. To prevent fire hazards in such spaces, it is necessary to evaluate the fire risk during the design stage. However, it is difficult to evaluate various settings because the evaluation method using the existing computational fluid dynamics utilize considerable amount of time. In this study, an algorithm was developed to evaluate the internal loads by using formulas related to the existing fire risk assessment. The developed algorithm is designed to easily calculate the detection time of the detector, smoke fall time, and sprinkler operation time. This algorithm could be used to design an optimized fire protection system in the initial design stage.

This study analyzes the safety management of transporting dangerous chemical goods that are transported from the factory to the customer. By conducting a risk assessment of transportation activities and reviewing company compliance with regulations and laws. This research is descriptive qualitative or observational, the analytical method used in this study is the HIRADC (Hazard Identification Detemining Control Risk Assessment) method. The results of this study provide an overview of the level of safety of transporting hazardous chemicals to carry out risk assessments in shipping goods to customers. Risks that score more than 1 are risks that must be followed up by making an objective program. The level of risk comes from a combination of likelihood (probability) and severity of impact (consequences). The results of this study are expected to be used to control and reduce current risks. Evaluation of company compliance with government regulations and legislation, can be used as a basis for developing compliance plans that were not previously met.

The process of making a barecore still uses traditional and simple human labor and machining technology. In the production process, there are several sources of danger found, namely: machines used, work attitudes, work methods, raw materials, and the resulting sawdust disturbs environmental quality. This study aims to identify, assess the risk of hazards in the production process as well as corrective actions to control hazards using the Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) method. The research steps were hazard identification, risk assessment and corrective action. For hazard risk assessment, the OHS Risk Assessment method is used. The results of this study found that there are four sources of danger, namely the work environment, humans, materials, and machines. The results of the risk assessment calculation obtained three risk values, namely low risk with the number of findings of 13 potential hazards, medium risk with the number of findings of 78 potential hazards and high risk with the number of findings of two potential hazards. Risk control efforts to reduce potential hazards can be done by: using personal protective equipment, adding boxes as wooden material containers, making standard operating procedures, and providing first aid facilities.
