Abstract
In recent decades, risk management practices and methodologies in many other areas have evolved, and a merge has begun. In this article, we first introduce a risk concept and then interpret the specifics of occupational safety risk management. Risk assessment is not only a primary tool or modern management systems but, like in occupational health and safety, it is an obligation. The distinctive feature of the occupation health and safety risk assessment is that the protected value is the health of the worker, and the employer’s activities cause the hazards making it the problem owner. At OSH risk assessment, the various scenarios appear in the wording of the hazards and exclude intentional harm. Meeting minimum health and safety requirements and compliance with limit values means often characterize safe conditions. The occupational safety risk set is usually fragmented, typically consisting of several assessment areas that include procedures for monitoring changes.
