ABSTRACT
A number of attempts to a more systematic and consistent approach to quantitative occupational risk assessment have appeared in the literature. A model has been developed to predict the frequency of occupational accidents in offshore oil and gas industry, based on direct, corporate and external factors, as proposed by Attwood et al. (2006). Quantified risk for various occupational groups in Sweden based on the number of accidents and relevant exposure has been calculated by Larsson and Forsblom (2005). A method has been proposed by Ivan et al. (2010) for risk assessment of several trades in the construction industry, based on estimating the overall frequency and severity from historical data of accidents in Hong Kong and their consequences regarding injuries, days lost and compensation cost. Fuzzy methods have been
