Risk Assessment Methodology

It is a challenge to prevent an occupational accident in any industrial activities. The aim of this study is to improve the safety and reduce the risk of occupational accidents at shipyard through developing a risk assessment. This paper describes the concept and methodology of risk assessment for occupational safety and its application. The methodology introduces an effective and useful assessment procedure to construct the database based on the past occupational accidents occurred at shipyards. Quantitative methodology is developed to understand the unsafe working conditions and environment at the shipyard by the convenient handheld to collect the data with Information Technology. Some examples of effective hazard countermeasures are suggested and a feasibility study is conducted to improve a walking environment at shipyards.

Introduction: Considering application of multiple electrical equipment, numerous occupational accidents occur in hospitals each year. Electrical accidents are severe and impose high costs on the individuals and organizations. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of electrical systems in one of the oldest hospitals under supervision of Baqiyatallah University using energy trace and barrier analysis method (ETBA). Methods and Materials: All wall plugs, switches, stationary and portable equipment, and stationary and portable electrical panel were evaluated in terms of earthing and appearance. This was done using a simple voltmeter and a 100-watt bulb. All equipment and electrical panel were examined for the presence of Residual Current Device. The ETBA worksheets were completed for each equipment and workstation. The existing barriers were identified and initial risk reduction numbers were calculated. Barriers and solutions were suggested for the equipment or workstation that was at higher risk. Controlled risk was calculated by considering new barriers. Results: The ETBA worksheets were completed for 71 devices and workstations. The initial and controlled risk was calculated. Surveys revealed that all sections of the main building and the departmental structures did not have a good status regarding the earth condition. Risk assessment of the equipment and stations by ETBA method indicated that 97% of the equipment were not at an acceptable level of risk, 52% were at the unacceptable risk level, 45% were at undesirable risk level, and only 3% were at the acceptable risk. Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to prioritize resource allocation to eliminate hospital defects and reduce the risk of accidents up to an acceptable level.

We present a new generalized model for the diagnosis and prediction of accidents among the Spanish workforce. Based on observational data of the accident rate in all Spanish companies over eleven years (7,519,732 accidents), we classified them in a new risk-injury contingency table (19×19). Through correspondence analysis, we obtained a structure composed of three axes whose combination identifies three separate risk and injury groups, which we used as a general Spanish pattern. The most likely or frequent relationships between the risk and injuries identified in the pattern facilitated the decision-making process in companies at an early stage of risk assessment. Each risk-injury group has its own characteristics, which are understandable within the phenomenological framework of the accident. The main advantages of this model are its potential application to any other country and the feasibility of contrasting different country results. One limiting factor, however, is the need to set a common classification framework for risks and injuries to enhance comparison, a framework that does not exist today. The model aims to manage work-related accidents automatically at any level.

The construction sector played an important role in development and was the biggest contributor of work accident rate in Indonesia. The aim of the research were to analyze human, methods, machines, materials, and environment element as cause of occupational accidents. This was a cross-sectional observational research conducted in October 2012 to March 2013. This research was carried out with several integrates stages which include risk identification, risk assessment and priorities formulation, root cause analysis, and ended by recommendations for controlling risk and hazard. Risk identificationshowed that there were 100 risks that couldthreaten the workers. The following categories were: 4% low risk categories, 48% moderate risk, 39% high risk, and 9% extreme risk. Through the Q sort technique obtained five priority safety issues: workers falling from height, electric shock, workers stung by material lifted, fires or explosions, and the scaffolding collapsed. Based on root cause analysis, it showed that the most likely root cause of the problems was dominated by the human factor such as: fatigue due to overtime work, lack of experience and understanding of the procedure, lack of awareness of the importance of the ocupational safety and health. Keywords: construstion,risk assessment, root cause.

Subject. We identify what determines the risk propensity of those charged with financial reporting through surveying, so as the results could be subsequently applied in assessing the risk of material misstatement of financial reporting due to fraud. Objectives. We herein outline the methodological framework for conducting risk assessment procedures with respect to material misstatements due to fraud as part of financial reporting audits. Thus, we set an econometric model to empirically evaluate the probable risk propensity of a person charged with financial reporting. Methods. We applied the logistic regression model identified through empirical data of the survey we conducted among 515 employees of audited entities. Results. For purposes of research, we specified and identified the econometric model of a binary choice. The higher risk propensity was observed among people above 45, those having mediocre or low income, one profession, working for large production enterprises. Conclusions. What makes the technique advantageous is its low labor-intensity and higher efficiency of risk assessment procedures as part of audits. Based on the model, forecasts will help evaluate the propensity of the audited entity's management to the business risk. The findings can be used for analytical procedures in assessing the risk of material misstatements in financial statements due to fraud as part of audits, referring to its as the expected result. If the acceptability of a divergence between the expected and factual values is subsequently evaluated, this will help assess the risk of material misstatement in the audited entity's financial statements and determine whether additional auditing procedures are needed.
