Funnel analysis is a powerful risk assessment method. The method is applicable to education, particularly, to distance learning. The author presents his research performed at ITMO University, Russia, which was dedicated to distance learning success assessment based on the funnel risk assessment approach. The research was conducted during the time period from September 2020 to December 2020 and involved cybersecurity students, major #10.04.01. The results of the research have confirmed assumptions regarding possible risks of students’ performance in learning and successful risk management. Funnel risk analysis can be recommended for course planning, performing, and assessment at educational institutions.

For the last few years, roads and motorways projects have been developing in Algeria, where the risk management remains timorous. Indeed, these projects exhibit many geotechnical disorders of natural or anthropic origin, which disturb their progress. Furthermore, the latent effects of these disorders can affect the life of the works as well as the safety and comfort of the users. Therefore, this paper addresses the use of the MADS-MOSAR method as a risk assessment method that can be used in the construction area to consider a wide range of risk sources including non-geotechnical ones. This method, which is widely used in industry, is tentatively used to identify the causes and consequences of undesired geotechnical events in the case of the main slip road “A” at the exchange of the RN02 road in Tlemcen, Algeria. The choice of this method implies first a system modelling approach and a functional analysis to inventory all possible sources of danger and all possible interactions and to perform a global risk assessment. At the end, we show the relevance of this method in the field of geotechnical risk management for road projects.

Safety ergonomic is compulsory thing to be applied in every company to guarantee workers safety. To see how far safety ergonomic implemented, instead doing SMK3 audit, risk assessment approach method is other exemplary way by identifying the existing hazards and to measure how concern is the company in safety ergonomic subject. PT. Petrokimia Gresik is one of chemical company known as fertilizer producer which had outstanding acknowledgement in safety ergonomic subject, one of them is zero accident award. The definition of zero accident here is the company has minimum level of high risk accident, not with the understanding that the company has no accident at all. In despite of that, risk assessment method is still needed in order to monitoring action. Risk assessment is performed to produce a data that can expose areas where only a high hazards level exist, kind of hazards, and how to prevent and control the hazards. During this process, results are stored only to make an evaluation of the company, in thisproblem analysis, researcher will design an information system that will be a media repository and facilitate the users to know if there are hazards in a work unit

The pipeline risk assessment has been part of the integrity management in the industry in today’s environment of increasing regulatory and public oversight. One of the widely used risk assessment method is the score index method. This method has been used for more than two decades and is widely accepted in the pipeline industry. The input data is relatively easy to acquire. The method provides details of mitigation options and relative risk values. However, this method does not provide the simple decision making process. In risk management, it is always the question to choose the most cost effective mitigation option to use limited resources. On the basis of score index risk assessment method, a method to correlate the probability of failure score with actual failure probability, and leak impact factor score with actual failure consequence in monetary units has been developed. This method applies the monetarily calibrated consequence factor to the probability of failure to obtain a normalized and calibrated risk in monetary unit. By comparing the cost of an estimated mitigation program, the decision can be made. Recent regulations in Canada require that risk assessment must have a method to determine the significant risk threshold. Even though some industrial standards have some recommended methods or benchmark data for failure probability, there is no published method to determine the threshold of high risk. Some pipeline companies have the in-house personnel to develop an advanced method to meet regulation requirement. However, many pipeline companies need to have a practical and economical method to determine the significant risk threshold to meet regulation requirement, and to effectively allocate resources. This paper develops a method to determine the significant risk threshold that can be used as a decision-making criterion in pipeline risk management. This process is practical for industrial application, especially for upstream companies where operators have limited resources for advanced risk assessment. A case study is presented using this method based on upstream pipelines.

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.
