The objective of the study was to develop an easy-to-apply method for assessing the supplier-linked risk in the food business. The method as suggested in the study makes it possible to calculate, using simple mathematical tools, a level of risk involved in the cooperation with a particular supplier. The risk assessment is based on six criteria set for every supplier: type of commodities or products provided by the supplier; period of the cooperation with the supplier; systems applied by the supplier to assure quality and safety; past performance of the suppliers with respect to delayed deliveries, cancelled deliveries, and claimed deliveries owing to improper quality of raw materials. The method developed was validated in three companies: meat plant, dairy plant, and catering facility. A simple method was proposed to assess what risk a particular supplier could bring on the quality and safety of finished food product. This risk assessment method can be applied in different food businesses. The greatest benefit of the method developed consists in its ease of use and functionality. The suggested method can be used by small companies and it does not require any complicated calculations or advanced statistical techniques. The method can be very useful for enterprises; however, it has certain limitations such as knowledge and awareness of its users.

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: Identifying occupational hazards and managing occupational safety and health risks has been the most important mission and responsibility of the health and safety management system in organizations and adopting coded plans to achieve this is the key to continuously improving this system and promoting it. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal risk assessment methodology in development projects. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive-analytic research In this research, using previous research studies and collecting expert opinions, the most important criteria for selecting a specific risk assessment methodology, and then using one of the three most-used techniques is an important activity in the steel making industry and risk assessment. Then, the decision matrix is based on the strengths and weaknesses of the models. The prioritization of these three methods is done using the hierarchical analysis decision method. Results: In this paper, five key factors, the degree of application in identifying hazards, usability in different stages of risk assessment, reliability, ease of use, and training needs and costs, are identified as the most important criteria for choosing a risk assessment technique and the FMEA method was considered as the best  Risk Assessment Method. Conclusion: FMEA methodhas been introduced with regard to its capabilities as an optimal risk assessment method for contruction projects.

Risk Assessment Method

Successful implementation of Health and Safety (H&S) systems requires an effective mechanism to assess risk. Existing methods focus primarily on measuring the safety aspect; the risk of an accident is determined based on the product of severity of consequence and likelihood of the incident arising. The health component, i.e., chronic harm, is more difficult to assess. Partially, this is due to both consequences and the likelihood of health issues, which may be indeterminate. There is a need to develop a quantitative risk measurement for H&S risk management and with better representation for chronic health issues. The present paper has approached this from a different direction, by adopting a public health perspective of quality of life. We have then changed the risk assessment process to accommodate this. This was then applied to a case study. The case study showed that merely including the chronic harm scales appeared to be sufficient to elicit a more detailed consideration of hazards for chronic harm. This suggests that people are not insensitive to chronic harm hazards, but benefit from having a framework in which to communicate them. A method has been devised to harmonize safety and harm risk assessments. The result was a comprehensive risk assessment method with consideration of safety accidents and chronic health issues. This has the potential to benefit industry by making chronic harm more visible and hence more preventable.

Abstract Background Already at hospital admission, clinicians require simple tools to identify hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk of mortality. Such tools can significantly improve resource allocation and patient management within hospitals. From the statistical point of view, extended time-to-event models are required to account for competing risks (discharge from hospital) and censoring so that active cases can also contribute to the analysis. Methods We used the hospital-based open Khorshid COVID Cohort (KCC) study with 630 COVID-19 patients from Isfahan, Iran. Competing risk methods are used to develop a death risk chart based on the following variables, which can simply be measured at hospital admission: sex, age, hypertension, oxygen saturation, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. The area under the receiver operator curve was used to assess accuracy concerning discrimination between patients discharged alive and dead. Results Cause-specific hazard regression models show that these baseline variables are associated with both death, and discharge hazards. The risk chart reflects the combined results of the two cause-specific hazard regression models. The proposed risk assessment method had a very good accuracy (AUC = 0.872 [CI 95%: 0.835–0.910]). Conclusions This study aims to improve and validate a personalized mortality risk calculator based on hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The risk assessment of patient mortality provides physicians with additional guidance for making tough decisions.
