LABOUR SAFETY IMPROVING BASED ON OCCUPATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The occupational risk management model in case of the machine workshop is offered. The model is aimed at minimizing the potential negative factors effect of an operating environment on the workers, and, as consequence, the reduction of industrial injuries and occupational diseases. The generalized quantitative data of the occupational risks are obtained and analyzed as a part of the theoretical study. The direct dependence between the initial assessment of the actual risk of the identified danger and two indices of the working conditions — the initial assessment of the actual risk of the identified danger and the number of employees influenced by the identified danger — is revealed. The experimental values calculated through the factual data on the occupational hazards (OH) allow estimating real conditions at the workplaces. The higher the occupational risk point, the more work safety inadequacy can be seen on the specific revealed danger. Consequently, the occupational hazard increase and its affect on the human organism raise the risk of incidents. Thus, the developed model of the occupational risk management establishes an objective sequence of labor safety and labour arrangements for the prevision of the undesirable events occurrence without any specialized and lengthy computation.
