1. Risk assessment
           1.1 Concept of risk assessment

Risk assessment is the process of understanding the risks that are likely to occur during work. From there, orient and find reasonable and timely measures to overcome those risks. From there, all work activities will become easier, safer and limit the risk of causing human accidents as well as environmental pollution, or damage to business assets.

           1.2. How many types of risks are there?

Based on the risks, classify the risk level into 3 classes as follows:

High level risk
Average risk
Low level risk
           1.3 When to assess risks?

Before starting work, a risk assessment should be carried out.

For example, in the mechanical industry, risk assessment staff need to evaluate the safety of mechanical systems. Without good judgment, it is easy to cause an accident.

- So what happens during the welding process?

- Can oxygen tanks for welding explode?

- Is the welding gas pipe deflated?

And many other issues require risk assessment.

           1.4. Who does the risk assessment?

The person participating in the risk assessment is someone who must have experience in the job that they will participate in the assessment.

Normally, to assess risk, there needs to be at least 3 to 5 members participating in the group.

This group needs to have full knowledge and experience in many fields such as mechanical, chemical, medical, electrical... These are professions with a very high possibility of occupational accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to assess risks promptly and accurately to limit occupational accidents.

When to assess risk and who to assess risk?

           1.5. Subjects requiring risk assessment

Mechanical manufacturing factory
industrial area
Seafood factory
Agricultural product factory
Heavy industrial manufacturing factory
Shipyards
And there are many other factories.

2. Hazard identification and risk assessment process
Step 1: Identify hazards
Step 2: See who is injured and how much is it?
Step 3: Assess risks and propose preventive measures
Step 4: Document your findings and solutions
Step 5: Update and introduce new safety solutions
           2.1 Hazard identification

When you work every day at work, you often have the habit of ignoring some dangers that you do not expect. So some of the following activities can help you identify those hazards

Look around the area where you work and look for anything that you think could be unsafe.
• Ask your supervisor or the safety officer in charge of the area where you work to express your views about the hazards in your workplace. This will make hazards easier to control, and your concerns more easily explained.

For example: You are working in a manufacturing and shipbuilding company, often exposed to many flammable and explosive materials such as oxygen tanks, welding rods... then before starting work you should observe and identify them. hazard before carrying out work or you should seek the intervention of the labor safety ministry to identify this hazard. Why, because identifying hazards from the beginning will make the work process safer.

           2.2: Who can be hurt and to what extent?

To be able to well control possible risks, we need to clearly identify the object or person who will be hurt. Through this way, we will easily control the risks that may be created during work.
However, when you do so, it does not mean that you will put all the names of these objects into control status. You only identify affected workgroups or potentially affected workgroups

Potentially vulnerable objects.

These are the types of workers working at factories and industrial parks such as: newly recruited and young workers, or new or pregnant mothers... or they are visitors to the project, project contractors. , or workers in charge of maintenance... are all vulnerable subjects.

Who can be hurt and to what extent?

           2.3: Assess risks and propose preventive measures

When detecting these hazards before and during work, the first thing the officers in charge of this job need to do is: stop the workers' work, see if these hazards are dangerous and Check very carefully. If these hazards are too small or do not cause any risks, let the workers return to normal work.

On the contrary, if the dangers are discovered to be too great and risks will likely occur. The officer in charge will be allowed to temporarily stop work there for careful inspection and supervision. At the same time, the responsible department will have to accurately assess risks and propose preventive measures to ensure the safety of workers.
