ABSTRACT
Risk assessment represents a careful analysis of the premises, processes and work activities to identify what could cause harm to people to enable decisions to be made as to whether sufficient precautions have already been taken or whether further controls are needed. The aim of Risk Assessment it to individualize a risk priority that allows to define a hierarchy of intervention activities (design review, procedures, formation and information) needed to eliminate or reduce the risk. There are many methods for Risk Assessment (FMEA, FTA, HAZOP, What-if, MOZAR, etc.) (Hiromitsu 1996) that are all usable.
