Services, unlike products, are intangible, and their production and consumption take place simultaneously. The latter feature plays a crucial role in mitigating the identified risk. This article presents the new approach to risk assessment, which considers the first phase of introducing the service to the market and the specificity of UAV systems in warehouse operations. The fuzzy logic concept was used in the risk analysis model. The described risk assessment method was developed based on a literature review, historical data of a service company, observations of development team members, and the knowledge and experience of experts’ teams. Thanks to this, the proposed approach considers the current knowledge in studies and practical experiences related to the implementation of drones in warehouse operations. The proposed methodology was verified on the example of the selected service for drones in the magazine inventory. The conducted risk analysis allowed us to identify ten scenarios of adverse events registered in the drone service in warehouse operations. Thanks to the proposed classification of events, priorities were assigned to activities requiring risk mitigation. The proposed method is universal. It can be implemented to analyze logistics services and support the decision-making process in the first service life phase.

In this article, the subject of research is the methods of risk assessment in business as the main way to minimize risks when choosing a particular scenario for the development of events, as well as the difficulty in choosing a method for further analysis. The purpose of this article is to identify the most appropriate risk assessment method for a given situation and, accordingly, compare them and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the methods under consideration. The article provides examples for specific situations of the most commonly used risk assessment methods in modern business. Recommendations for the most effective application of the analyzed methods are offered, depending on the goal of risk analysis and a specific situation. The results and conclusions are presented, corresponding to the set goal.

In order to reduce the risks and uncertainties in conceptual design of submarine rescue vehicle (SRV), the paper proposed a risk-based conceptual design method, which consisted of three focus areas: problem setup, risk assessment, risk mitigation and decision support. Conventional risk assessment tools (e.g. probability risk assessment) were not suited for initial design because of lack of data, and a safety analysis model using fuzzy-logic approach employing fuzzy IF-THEN rules was introduced to carry out risk analysis in conceptual design. Subsequently, it was investigated that the main risky factors which influenced system risk in initial design were technology level of SRV, safety of SRV, task complexity, investment and repayment. And then a risk analysis model for submarine rescue vehicle was introduced. Lastly a case was studied to demonstrate the application of the model, and the results showed that it was an effective way to reduce the risks and uncertainties in conceptual design process.

The commercialization of eco-friendly hydrogen vehicles has elicited attempts to expand hydrogen refueling stations in urban areas; however, safety measures to reduce the risk of jet fires have not been established. The RISKCURVES software was used to evaluate the individual and societal risks of hydrogen refueling stations in urban areas, and the F–N (Frequency–Number of fatalities) curve was used to compare whether the safety measures satisfied international standards. From the results of the analysis, it was found that there is a risk of explosion in the expansion of hydrogen refueling stations in urban areas, and safety measures should be considered. To lower the risk of hydrogen refueling stations, this study applied the passive and active independent protection layers (IPLs) of LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) and confirmed that these measures significantly reduced societal risk as well as individual risk and met international standards. In particular, such measures could effectively reduce the impact of jet fire in dispensers and tube trailers that had a high risk. Measures employing both IPL types were efficient in meeting international standard criteria; however, passive IPLs were found to have a greater risk reduction effect than active IPLs. The combination of RISKCURVES and LOPA is an appropriate risk assessment method that can reduce work time and mitigate risks through protective measures compared to existing risk assessment methods. This method can be applied to risk assessment and risk mitigation not only for hydrogen facilities, but also for hazardous materials with high fire or explosion risk.

<p>Operators worldwide are using hazardous substances in the production process and after the completion of production processes, those substances can cause major accidents with serious consequences on the health and safety of people and the environment. This paper describes some of the methods of risk analysis in plants who use hazardous substances in the production process, in order to identify a method combined-complete, to provide the data needed to calculate the effects of chemical accidents and emergency planning.</p>

The paper deals with the risk assessment problems in Estonian oil shale mines, where the roomand-pillar mining with blasting is used. This study addresses risks associated with the collapse of mining blocks, including environmental problems. Some of the various factors, which are relevant to Estonian oil shale mines, are determined. For risk estimation the event tree is used. Investigation showed that the likelihood and the consequences of the risk are not acceptable. Risk mitigation process reduces the likelihood. The used concept of risk assessment method is applicable for Estonian oil shale mines. It may be used for different purposes and levels. The results of the risk assessment are of particular interest for practical purposes.

The article presents a new method of risk assessment Risk Analysis. The first part of the article is an introduction that informs about the essence of risk assessment and addresses the lack of a parameter describing the impact of human behaviour on occupational risk in existing methods of risk assessment. The statistical information presented confirms the significant impact of human behaviour on the occurrence of an accident at work. The second chapter is devoted exclusively to the subject of risk assessment. The third chapter contains the main part of the article, i.e. the presentation of the author's own risk assessment method, which consists of an individually developed formula and parameters. The article presents the Risk Analysis method, as well as its features, which distinguish it from other methods. The method is characterized by accuracy, functionality, and an innovative approach to the subject of professional risk assessment.
