ACCIDENTAL, ERGONOMIC AND CHRONIC RISK ASSESSMENT TOOLS WITHIN GAÏA FRAMEWORK IN A MULTINATIONAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY

Adrian TOMA, Roland Iosif MORARU, Mihai POPESCU-STELEA

Abstract


In Romania the quasi-generalized use of a single indigenous developed method has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the risk assessment approach, not allowing the particularization of techniques used to the variety of concrete situations and conditions encountered in organizations. This instrumental limitation generates in the cascade multiple disadvantages. This paper summarizes the results of research that illustrates the existing experience in a multinational industrial company, on the complementary application of several methods of risk assessment to achieve the level of excellence of safety culture development. Results obtained are benchmarks for effective guidance of OHS practitioners, experts, risk assessors and managers, in planning, organizing, conducting and capitalizing on the process of assessing occupational risks.
