It is well known to everyone that construction field is a very dangerous workplace especially if health and safety regulations are not applied in a professional way. In this project a field of survey was conducted through making interviews with experts in risk management and in health and safety risk assessment in the construction field.  In order to understand and evaluate the type of risks and hazards which are normally found at any construction project, the issue in sites were analyzed in five different categories. Analysis were done based on the responses from the professionals involved in the construction site through using software.  The aim of this project is study the awareness of  the participants of carrying out health and safety risk assessments in a professional way, to identify the most risks found in the construction field such as; working at heights, working without using the safety equipment, working on unstable roofs. From the studies, it was concluded the following points  Recognize and control hazards in your workplace , set risk management standards, based on acceptable safe practices and legal requirements, save costs by being proactive instead of reactive. All the respondents who were part of this project have said that it is very important to apply the occupational risk assessment matrix with considering the local regulations of the country.

This chapter describes how risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards has developed various risk management standards. The standards (methods, definitions and goals) are created in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety.

This paper measured the mood of College of Science, Engineering and Technology (CSET) academics following the merger between University of South Africa (UNISA), Vista University Distance Education Campus (VUDEC) and Technikon SA (TSA). The formulated statements, potential human resources related risks with association to the statements were articulated. The results obtained from the survey indicated that had the risk assessment been undertaken in CSET, the risk of losing/ retaining critical skills, corporate memory, and the inability to attract these critical skills to CSET could have been higher on the risk dashboard following the post-merger of UNISA, VUDEC and TSA.

The paper describes a new method of occupational health and safety risk assessment. This method, called MEVA, unlike the old ones, focuses more on reduce or eliminate subjective issues in determining the probability of manifestation of risk factors and is based on a deductive reasoning, with the help of which is studied the chain between two or more events. The novelty of the method consists in combining risk assessment techniques with evaluation of compliance with legal and other requirements, aiming to provide a more objective results of the risk assessment. In the MEVA method, the risk matrix is defined by 5 classes of severity and 5 probability classes, resulting in 5 levels of risk. After quantifying the risk factors, prevention measures are proposed for all the identified risk factors and each partial risk level is recalculated as a result of the proposed measures. The five levels of risk were grouped into three categories: acceptable, tolerable and unacceptable. The MEVA method is a simple method and it can be used for assessing various workplaces, with different characteristics of complexity, activity domain or occupational health and safety recordings.
