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.

Initial Survey

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.

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.

Introduction: Thrombo-haemorrhagic complications contribute to both morbidity and mortality in patients with essential thrombocythaemia. Aim: The aim of the authors was to estimate the incidence of thrombotic events and to examine the clinical utility of IPSET thrombosis risk evaluation score against conventional two-categorical (low and high) risk assessment. Method: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 155 patients with essential thrombocythaemia (106 females; median age, 61 years) in a period between 1999 and 2014. Results: The analysis revealed 55 (35.5%) major thrombotic events before and 25 (16.1%) major thrombotic complications after establishment of the haematologic diagnosis. Significant differences were observed in thrombosis-free survival between the different IPSET groups (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The IPSET model was first examined in this cohort of patients with essential thrombocythaemia diagnosed in a single Hungarian haematologic centre. The results suggest that this score may provide more information than the conventional thrombosis risk assessment. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(14), 558–563.

Background: Today with industry growth, hazards are increasing. The most important parts of these industries are human resources and employees, that face with many various hazards. Therefore, in order to protect and increase the productivity these hazards must be identified and analyzed to be controlled. Methods: The present study focused on hazard identification and risk assessment in spinning sector of a textile industry as one of the important and strategic industries by using HAZAN method.  For data gathering, different methods including HAZAN worksheet, risk detecting checklist, walking, talking, process plots and documents were used, and then risk assessment was carried out. Results: The finding represented 102 risks in the production line. Most of the risks were found in ring section (n=33), Flyer (n=26), Autoconer (n=18), Tightening (n=15) and Packing (n=10) respectively. 20.59% of these risks were 2nd rank (undesirable), 16.67% were 3rd rank (acceptable if controlled) and 62.74% were 4th rank (acceptable). In addition, high-risk jobs were feeding the empty bobbin during the shift and bobbin handling from the Autoconer unit. Also, analyses were performed based on the risk assessment method and statistical tests were not required. Conclusion: The 4th rank risk was the largest group that’s acceptable. It is notable that 2nd risk rank should be turned into 3rd risk rank in reliable time. For 3rd risk rank making sure that existing control is in place is sufficient. For making a safe work environment and increasing productivity, minimizing risk by safety training and other measures are useful.
