Abstract
This paper primarily focuses on the precise determination of the optimal point an administrative investment in occupational risk prevention can be implemented (see fig. 2). This kind of research is considered quite crucial for risk management science, in general.
In the present case study, the industrial risks’ causes in a specific steel manufacturing site are defined, assessed and quantitated. Each production dept. risks along with their root causes are graphically representated, also all departments’ risk is rated, in order to recognize the section with the highest risk that has actually to be given the most attention.
The time the steel plant management is required to decide whether to go for further risk prevention measures or keep working under the existing conditions is clearly defined in this study. The work accidents’ cost elements are deeply broken down, in a way to efficiently investigate all the factors that heavily affect the accidents’ compensations expenses.
Extended analyses of the applied methodology as well as a reference to topics for further research are provided as well.
