lifestyle. Programs that support personal protection are health monitoring and

1.2. Risk Assessment and Risk Management for Occupational Safety
Risks in occupational health and safety can never be eliminated or reduced. Taking all
precautions is not to eliminate or reduce the risk, but to prevent danger or dangerous
situation. Any compromise made from the measures will return as either a work accident
or an occupational disease.
Risk; in case of danger, is the realization of the danger, it is a possible outcome. It is not
revealed until the conditions are mature, if it does, it means that the damage has been done.
Risk is always an element of danger.
1.2.1. Forming Risk Assessment Teams and Instructing the Team
A separate team should be established for each part of the workplace. The team structure
should be as follows.
A Manager (team leader)
Sufficient number of employees
Occupational Safety Specialist
Workplace Physician
The team members should be informed about the benefits of this work, how to do the
work, etc.
Note: The team leader will act as a bridge that provides communication between technical
support members and team members.
1.2.2. Specifying Labor
Team members make a list of the work they did during a shift, in other words, the jobs on
this step. According to legislation, occupational accidents happen when doing a job. In this
regard, it is important to list the works done. Each work done means a danger or dangerous
situation.
1.2.3. Determination of Labor Risks
We have defined all the work done up to this stage, in other words, the dangers / dangerous
situations. Now it is necessary to identify the risks within these hazards. Add a potential
risk column to the list of final works done. Print it out and distribute it to team members.
