BACKGROUND: Educational support staff (educational staff) in schools perform widely distinctive activities according to their occupation and work process. OBJECTIVE: This study analyzes the possible incidents for each occupation and work process, and suggests a risk matrix prioritizing the risks of educational staff’s work. METHODS: A total of 1,566 injuries of educational staff, registered for occupational injuries and illnesses between 2015 and 2016, were used to develop the risk matrix considering injuries, sick leave days, and disabilities. RESULTS: Among the 1,566 injuries, ‘Cook-cooking/serving: Burn’ (8.5%) was the most frequent incident. ‘Cook-manual materials handling (MMH): musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)’ (241.6 sick leave days) was the most severe incident, and the number of disabilities was high in the forms of ‘Cook-cooking/serving: MSDs.’ According to risk assessment results, possible incidents predicted as ‘High’ level of risk management were in the forms of ‘Cook-cooking/serving: MSDs,’ ‘Cook-MMH: Slip and trip,’ ‘Cook-cleaning/repairing: Fall from a height,’ ‘Cook-walking: Slip and trip,’ ‘Cook-MMH: MSDs,’ ‘Cook-cooking/serving: Burn,’ ‘Cook-cleaning/repairing: Slip and trip,’ ‘Custodian-cleaning/repairing: Fall from a height,’ and ‘Instructor-walking: Slip and trip.’ CONCLUSIONS: The results can be used to develop an effective injury prevention policy, and to allocate resources for risk management in ensuring school safety.

Early aeromedical risk i was based on aeromedical standards designed to eliminate individuals ii from air operations with any identifiable medical risk, and led to frequent medical disqualification. The concept of considering aeromedical risk as part of the spectrum of risks that could lead to aircraft accidents (including mechanical risks and human factors) was first proposed in the 1980s and led to the development of the 1% rule which defines the maximum acceptable risk for an incapacitating medical event as 1% per year (or 1 in 100 person-years) to align with acceptable overall risk in aviation operations. Risk management has subsequently evolved as a formal discipline, incorporating risk assessment as an integral part of the process. Risk assessment is often visualised as a risk matrix, with the level of risk, urgency or action required defined for each cell, and colour-coded as red, amber or green depending on the overall combination of risk and consequence. This manuscript describes an approach to aeromedical risk management which incorporates risk matrices and how they can be used in aeromedical decision-making, while highlighting some of their shortcomings.

Risk assessment is the systematic recording and evaluation of all factors in the work process that can cause occupational injuries, illnesses or health damage. It can identify the options, ways of preventing, eliminating and reducing risks.The risk assessment considers the work organization, work processes, raw materials and materials used in technological and work processes, personal protective equipment and equipment at work, as well as other elements that may cause risk of personal injury, health damage or illness of the employee.The primary objective of occupational risk assessment is the protection, safety and health of employees.Risk assessment helps to minimize the risk of employees being compromised during work process activities. It also helps to maintain the efficiency of the business activity.A risk assessment act is an act containing a description of the work process with an assessment of the risk of injury and / or damage to workplace health in the work environment and measures to eliminate or reduce risks in order to improve safety and health at work.This act determines the possible types of hazards and harms in the workplace, assesses the risk of injury at work or health damage of the employee, determines ways and measures to eliminate them, or reduce their risk to minimum.Mechanical engineers design machines and tools, organize their production and handle their exploitation. They are experts for propulsion engines, vehicles and vessels, process and power plants, load-bearing structures. As designers, they design a product or manufacturing process so it can best meet the requirements and functions they need. In a process of designing a product, they take available raw materials and available production technology, and if they design the production process, they are guided by the type of input material and processing technology. Mechanical engineers in manufacturing plan, manage and supervise the production of machinery and plant. They systematically test the manufactured components, because they depend on the efficiency, reliability and safety of the whole system. For quality assurance, they constantly carry out tests and measurements of input materials and finished products with measuring instruments.This work is based on an analysis of the position of a mechanical engineer in the company named "Flamma-Systems Ltd." based in Nis. The company employs mechanical engineers and it deals primary with manufacturing of high-power boilers for heating greenhouses and buildings. The main market for this company is Sweden.

Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration at 2009 construction sector was the highest place occupational injuries. Worker in the process of manufacture shear wall at surabaya apartment  should work at altitude. Working at altitudeis a workthat possess fatal impact in the event of an accident. Thus risk assessment is needed as one way to reduce the number of workplace accidents. The research was a descriptive-observational research usingcross-sectionalstudy design. In this research,risk assessment was used qualitative methods. In the process of  risk assessment, hazard identification performed by using the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and then risk assessment was conducted use a risk matrix, so that the level of risk on the job of making shear wall could be known.The residual risk assessment was performed using guidelines calculation control. The process of making shear wall is divided into four working steps, like installation of concrete bones, installation of form work, casting, and dismantling form work.Result of risk assessment is pure risks of falling from height and strucked by fallen material were 15, hand being wedged were 9, irritation and being hit were 4.There is still a residual risk on falling from height and strucked by fallen material were 3, hazards of hands being wedged were 2, irritation and being hit had residual risk as many as 1. Hazards identified were dropped from height, strucked by fallen materials, wedged, irritated,and being hit. Risk assessment in existencefor dropped from height and strucked by fallen material had a high risk, moderate risk for hands being wedged, being hitand  irritation had a low risk. While the residual risks that existed in all of  these risks were low. Keywords: hazard identification, risk assessment, residual risk

The article deals with the main theoretical aspects of risk assessment of industrial enterprises in theshort-and long-term periods. The main features of short-term and long-term risks inherent to industrial enterprises have been determined. Comprehensive risk assessment methodology has been developed based onobtaining coherent assessment of the level of short-term and long-term risks. This methodology can be implemented in the form of an express assessment (simplified risk assessment) and in the form of risk matrix(advanced assessment of risks), depending on the objectives of the assessment, available resources andother constraints. The expediency of using an express assessment is, first of all, in the analysis of dynamicsof the level of risk at the enterprise. By positioning the risk profile of an enterprise in a certain area of thematrix of risks, it is possible to determine the main reserves for reducing the overall level of risk and increasethe effectiveness of risk management. The assessment of the risk level dynamics of activity, obtained in theform of risk vector, also provides significant basis for decision making on risk management.

Despite wide legislation basis of regulating relations in work safety and workers’ health, one third of workplaces demonstrate exceeded allowable normal levels of workers’ exposure to occupational hazards and present occupational risk for health disorders.In accordance to national legislation acts, evaluation should cover factors of occupational environment and working process, and occupational risk is understood in context of mandatory social insurance. This approach has been formed due to mostly compensatory trend in legal principles of work safety in Russia by now. Implementation of new preventive concept of work safety, based on idea of risk management for workers, necessitates development of legal acts that regulate requirements to evaluation of occupational risk and its reports with consideration of changes in Federal Law on 30 March 1999 №52 FZ “On sanitary epidemiologic well-being of population”.Those acts can include Sanitary Rules and Regulations “Evaluation of occupational risk for workers’ health”, that will contain main principles of risk assessment, requirements to risk assessment, including its characteristics which can serve as a basis of categorizing the risk levels with acceptability.To standardize requirements for informing a worker on the occupational risk, the expediency is specification of sanitary rules “Notifying a worker on occupational risk”. These rules should contain requirements: to a source of data on occupational risk level at workplace, to informational content and to ways of notifying the worker. Specification and implementation of the stated documents enable to fulfil legal requirements completely on work safety — that will provide preservation and increase of efficiency in using work resources.
