This paper focuses on a risk assessment methodology developed to help define the design fire scenarios for ship structures including composites in the framework of IMO MSC/Circ. 1002. The methodology is applicable to any kind of composite material used for structural division in large composite designs.

The article discusses the basic requirements for buildings and structures. The review of the scientific literature on fire safety revealed the lack of accounting for the working hours of pre-trial detention centers, as well as the influence of the employees of the institution. The existing risk assessment methodology is not applicable to such buildings, since the key factor in ensuring the safety of people is the time when the evacuation of people begins. The lack of standards and methods related to the risk assessment of buildings of pre-trial detention centers creates the need for large-scale experiments on the evacuation of people.

Abstract As counterfeiting techniques and processes grow in sophistication, the methods needed to detect these parts must keep pace. This has the unfortunate effect of raising the costs associated with managing this risk. In order to ensure that the resources devoted to counterfeit detection are commensurate with the potential effects and likelihood of counterfeit part usage in a particular application, a risk based methodology has been adopted for testing of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts by the SAE AS6171 set of standards. This paper provides an overview of the risk assessment methodology employed within AS6171 to determine the testing that should be utilized to manage the risk associated with the use of a part. A scenario is constructed as a case study to illustrate how multiple solutions exist to address the risk for a particular situation, and the choice of any specific test plan can be made on the basis of practical considerations, such as cost, time, or the availability of particular test equipment.

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.
