RISK MITIGATION APPROACH FOR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS MANAGEMENT

Mihai PANTAZI, Irina SEVERIN, Luminița ION BOUSSIER

Abstract


The paper aims to re-design the documented training system in accordance with the employees’ evaluations; a case study within Romania’s public institutions is proposed. In line with the digital transformation component in institutions, the opportunity for developing a digital risk assessment strategy that reduces medical costs, supports the prevention of working injuries and employees’ effectiveness increase, has been identified. Starting with the risk identification, then assessing the potential risks’ impact and the probability of occurrence, a digital solution has been developed for employees’ training in line with emergency situations and occupational safety and health regulations. Data centralization and tracking presents multiple benefits; the solution has the potential of transfer in other professional contexts.
